Everton v Leicester City
Venue: Goodison Park
Kick off: 4PM
Leicester will be looking for a sixth successive Premier League win when they travel to Everton on Sunday (today).
The Foxes have been revitalised since the appointment of Craig Shakespeare, who could equal the Premier League record for consecutive wins from the start of his managerial career in the competition.
The record is currently held by both Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti with six wins from their first six games.
Leicester also have the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Atletico Madrid to look forward to next Wednesday.
“There hasn’t been any Champions League talk,” says Shakespeare. “It hasn’t been banned, it’s just all about keeping the run going against Everton.
“It’ll be a tough game. Everton’s home record is very good and it’s a really competitive league this season.”
Everton have seen their hopes of finishing in the top four dented by a 3-1 defeat to Liverpool and 1-1 draw at Manchester United in the last week.
The Toffees looked set to win at Old Trafford until a last-minute penalty from Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
“A win would have been a great result, but now we have to move on quickly,” said goalkeeper Joel Robles. “That is football. We need to be positive and look forward to the next game.”
Everton Possible XI: Robles, Pennington, Jagielka, Holgate, Baines, Gueye, Davies, Schneiderlin, Mirallas, Barkley, Lukaku.
Leicester City Possible XI: Schmeichel, Benalouane, Huth, Simpson, Fuchs, Drinkwater, Amartey, Albrighton, Mahrez, Slimani, Vardy.
