Leicester City v Everton. 16th August at 15.00.

Not that he has any idea, but Greg O'Keefe thinks the team on sat will be

On Saturday I think the team will be; Howard, Coleman, Jagielka, Distin, Baines, McCarthy, Barry, Pienaar, Barkley, Osman, Naismith - with Lukaku and Mirallas featuring as subs from the bench

That's got to be one of the slowest line-ups in the Top Flight. The signing of Atsu looks even better looking at that possibility.

Osman out wide (presumably). I thought those days were over.

I know Geads has had a poor pre-season, but come on.

Anything less than 3 points is a terrible start. I expect nothing less to be honest. Despite Leicester being at home, first game back in the big time for years, i still can't see them grabbing anything. After a nervous opening 20 minutes, Everton will start dominating the midfield and show them why we finished 5th last season on 72 points. Normal service will resume and i can only see Leicester chasing shadows for large parts of the game. There will be that many passing triangles, Leicester will think Pythagoras is playing.

NEA what people think. Leicester will be put to the sword here. Bang average players where the excitement of playing in the prem will push them on for a short while. Quality will show in the end. 2 -0 Everton win

They could sign Messi tomorrow and I'd still be confident of beating them if we play like we can. They're mostly crud. We is Everton.

Now THAT'S a proper preview.

More like this in future please.

Everton 2 Foxes 1 Nugent OG in 89th min. Happiest day of the man's life.

Oh chico, you think you're so pretty....

Voted draw, but might actually bet on Everton wining this weekend!

...of whom it’s said is like a disease without any cure.

If our bang average players manage to get something from you on Saturday this will be the post I'll enjoy the most. Other than that I won't be gloating

Enjoy the preview mate? Mainly in jest, as you can see.

Liked Leicester in the late 90's and early 00's under O'Neill

Remember then beating Aldo's Tranmere Rovers to win the League Cup. No real beef with Tranmere, but it was good to see Aldo denied

I did enjoy it actually. It was.........original! lol

Think we'll win, just.
If we play the way we can do, with the likes of Romelu, Mirallas and Barkley, theres no reason why we cant hurt Leicester, keep it tight at the back and like i say we'll just win. Won't be as easy as some suggest, but i still expect us to get 3 points.

They do raise a smile.

Can see it being 1-1 with lukaku and mirallas coming off the bench on 65 minutes and being too much for them, 2-1 to us in the end

If Martinez starts Osman and Hibbert i'd be very annoyed at him.

 

[efc.1878]

1-1 then with 20minutes to go Roberto decides it's time to unleash the beast ...

FT 2-1 Everton. Scenes, limbs and pyro galore.
