Leicester’s defeat was particularly unexpected as it followed back-to-back victories over Chelsea and Manchester City.Nonetheless, both teams remain in the top half of the Premier League table ahead of their clash and just one point separates them as they chase the Europa League spots.

What the players are saying

Jordan Pickford (Everton):“I think we are playing well, we’re gelling well, we just need to start getting that consistency.“If you can’t win, don’t lose the game but Brighton scored and we couldn’t break them down.“Leicester are a tough side. We won at their place (2-1 in October) so they will be trying to get a bit of revenge but we’ve just got to bring our A-game, recover well and hopefully get three points.Jordan Pickford and Harry Maguire have been speaking to the media ahead of the game2

Harry Maguire (Leicester):“That is the best thing about the Christmas period. Once you get a defeat you only have to wait two or three days before you are playing again.“It’s nice to have another game in three days and it’s a big game for us now at Everton.“We will look forward to that one, try to rest and recover and hopefully get the three points up there.”
