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

[Jamo Martinez]

What if a horse runs out of the tunnel and knocks in the winner with its snout in extra time and then accidentally kicks Pickford in the teeth in celebration? That would surprise me.

The odds on that are actually lower than John Joe Kenny scoring the first goal

Leicester are unbeaten since we beat them I think.

Form Guide (last 6) (top 3 in EPL)
Manchester City W: 6, D: 0, L: 0, (18)
Everton W: 5, D: 0, L: 1 (15)
Leicester City W: 4, D: 2, L: 0, (14)

Two of the most in form teams in the Premier League. But we're only won 2 of out last 6 home games. Leicester have the same Away record as us, 4 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss in their last 6.

I think it's going to be a game were their midfield will totally dominate ours this time around, since we are missing Allan and Doucoure. Especially with James back who needs Doucoure or Allan to protect him defensively.

Our biggest threat is their biggest weakness. Set pieces and crosses. It's a Brendan Rodgers team after-all, great at controlling the game, but cannot seem to master the art of defending set pieces or scoring them.

It's a coin toss really, can see us winning this game against the run of play. Doucoure and Allan missing is a bigger loss to us than them losing Vardy. It will all depend on how well Sigs/Davies/Gomes play.

I'm going for 2-2

I mean can we stick to reality? Tosun perfect hat trick with his first three touches !

Remember when Naismith had his had trick against Chelsea? Anything is possible

A lot of talk about Davies playing for me personally I’d rather start with 10 men at least we wouldn’t b passing to Leicester players all night he’s pants I’m sure he’s a Liverpool spy sent in to ruin us

Mate?

Win this and we’ll it’s on BIG TIME.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

It will

It won't.

It's important, and a win would obviously be a big boost, but there are far too many points still in play for it to be definitive.

I’d say Davies will play, he’s one of the few with the energy, not pace sadly, to play in the centre of midfield now that Allan and Doucoure are missing, rather Tom than Siggy who tries manfully but whose legs have gone, or Gomes who has ability but rarely shows it and is left for dead when defending, maybe Carlo will surprise us with a formation that none of us expected at Wolves, hopefully with the same result.

Exactly . Be a nice one to win for sure. But if we won that and then lost to Newcastle more damage then. We need to accumulate points over 22 games.

Jesus that midfield

You’ve convinced me, play the snail and see if he’s got a twin brother!!
