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

[ForeverBlue92]

Two games in hand like.

But yeah, tonight is massive. I'd be more confident if we were away but we can kind of treat this like an away game in a way.

Go with the flat back four for me. Even if that means Digne on the left and one of Rich/Iwobi missing out. Seems Gylfi is starting, so that could mean either he's in next to Davies or we're playing him as a 10 and James right.

I fancy a draw myself think we'll score but unless Holgate goes into the middle can not see us offering anything near enough in CM to keep them at bay.

2-2 DCL & Richarlison for us and Maddison and someone like Incheacho for them.

No idea how this game will go. Don’t expect us to get loads of chances though. Richarlison needs to fire for us to win I reckon.

This...hope his goal vs Sheff Wed will help him regain form. You could see he was so relieved to score in that game.

With a midfield trio of Davies, Gomes, & Iceland - will they ever see the ball?

The ball takes ten minutes to ge to the edge of the opposition six yard box - Godfrey in midfield?

Not a clue,not for the 1st time then

Good old Pulitzer Phil (nickname stolen from @Connor )

He’s got too much quality to been on a bad run for long.

Could go 4th, could go 9th..... spin the wheel

 

[Joey66]

We will win 2-1.....COYB.....

 

[Twinkletoes123]

When there’s so much optimism around it gives me a dreaded feeling. I can see us being behind Villa after tonight’s game.

 

[Zatara]

If we keep the back 4 + start the front 3

We will score 2 goals at least and they will do well to score 1.

I'm still saying:

Pickford
Holgate Keane Mina
Iwobi - - - - Davies - - Gomes - - - - Digne
James - - - - - - - - - - - Richi
DCL​

Sub Allan for Davies and rotate in Godfrey regularly and this is our best lineup on paper every week. We have four starting CBs who can be rotated and the rest of the team is in their ideal spot. Problem is that Carlo doesn't like three in the back and our CBs never look comfortable playing with it. Which is a real bummer. Doubt he goes for it.

Incheacho, won’t play, he’s stink himself out at Leicester, probably Perez will play, I went 2-1 to us

And we all know what happens when Everton have a chance to climb into the top 4

Agree but will be Ben for Holgate I think

I'd be happier with Ben tbh, I jus put what I expect the team to be.
