Boxing Day! One of the biggest dates on the football calendar. Eight games fill your TV-watching schedule today. So, warm up the Christmas leftovers, slip into that brand new kit Santa brought you and get away from your family today so you can watch some sports.

For Everton, it is a trip to the King Power Stadium to face the defending league Champions, Leicester City. The Foxes are in an odd run of form that has seen them lose to the likes of Sunderland and Bournemouth, but take three points from giants Manchester City. And they will be without suspended striker Jamie Vardy as he begins his three-match ban.

There is reason for optimism with the Toffees at the moment. Although they have just one win and one loss in their last two games, it was a pair of respectable performances. A similar outing today should get them back on the right side of things.

Let us at Royal Blue Mersey be the last ones to wish you a Merry Christmas. As always, thanks for reading!
