Leicester City are everything that Everton wish they were. The trio of Demarai Gray, Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez is so electrifying and fun to watch. While they may not be the most clinical attack, they certainly scare any defense in the top flight.

The Toffees are in a world of hurt. As it stands, scrapping up a point against the Foxes feels like a good result. However, Theo Walcott looks like he is a difference maker that they sorely needed and Oumar Niasse could be hitting another vein of form. Cenk Tosun is struggling a bit, but he’s new so he will be afforded a honeymoon period.

On paper, this feels like a mismatch in favor of Leicester despite being the road team. But that’s why the game isn’t played on paper. Hopefully the Blues can get back to winning ways under Big Sam. COYB!!
