Match Thread Everton v Leicester City - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

Tielemans and Vardy not playing then?.

There's no easy games - this one is doable though

Barry isn't at the races these days. Tielemans is good from distance...bit Pickford can handle those shots pretty well.

Tbh it's Tielemans who we need to stop, if we stop him then he can't give the ball to Barnes or Maddison to do anything with.

Tielemans will be getting pressed back all day hopefully.

Tielemans will be getting pressed back all day hopefully.

I hope so, if we can do that then there is no reason we shouldn't get a result unless we self destruct tbh.

 

[Groucho]

Everyone I’ve spoken to fancies us for this one so that’s a bad omen.

 

[Vaughan]

Where did Davies’ pace and thrust go?

 

[Vaughan]

If Patterson is ready he should come in

Only other change I’d maybe make is McNeil in for Gordon, and that’s because I’m fancying Gordon for a last minute winner 2-1

 

[Neiler]

Going to be a tricky tie this, Leicester always score and we struggle to. First goal critical, they will try and ride out the first 30 mins, we need to contain them and frustrate them whether have momentum, they have players to hurt.

Hopefully we see a bit more Palace at home than Fulham away.

 

[Everlasting Light]

I think we can take the advantage of Leicester bad season. Playing offensive since the first minutes could suprise the Foxes and I would go for that.

Sorry, Vardy.

 

[McCall2Radzinski]

Darren Lewis says we're going to win, so I'm going to bed and will sleep easy.

Any injuries

 

[Ring master]

Everton win 2-1 for me

Everton conceded the least at home, but we are 2nd lowest home scorers (Only wolves have scored less at home than us)

Leicester Highest away scorers and conceded 2nd highest away goals (Only Bournemouth by 1 goal have let more in away than Leicester) - Leicester no surprise have had more goals in their away games than any other team

 

[Toffeelover]

Damn KO at 5.30pm again what a pain much better at 3.00pm so can be at local having a couple of afternoon drinks while watching the game on the tv.

 

[Davideeyore]

Paul Wilkinson scores Everton’s second goal against Leicester City in this League Division One match played at Goodison Park on the 28th December 1986.

The memories. The memory I have I always thought it was New Years Eve. The 'purple patch' of goals around Christmas and New Year.

Few games are easy to call but I full expect us to put on a show with it being the last before the break at home.
