Leicester and Everton faced off in a crucial game in hand on Tuesday night, with both teams starting the match in the relegation zone. A win for either side would take them out of the bottom three and above Nottingham Forest and Leeds. However, it was Leicester who came out on top with a 2-0 victory, thanks to goals from Jamie Vardy and James Maddison. The win sees them move up to 16th place, while Everton remain in 19th.
Leicester’s Goalkeeper Woes
While Leicester put in a solid performance against Everton, there is still one area of concern for the team – their goalkeeper. Danny Ward and Daniel Iversen have both put in subpar performances this season, and it’s likely that the club will look to bolster this position in the summer transfer window. Kasper Schmeichel, who left Leicester for the French Riviera last summer, was a guest on MNF and gave some in-depth analysis to some of the weekend’s goalkeeping.
The Glory Days of Everton and Leicester
Fans of both Everton and Leicester will remember the glory days of their respective teams. Antony Train reminisces about the incredible Everton team of the 80s, while Paulo Biriani remembers Leicester’s Kevin Sheedy and that left foot. However, both teams have struggled in recent years and find themselves fighting for survival in the Premier League. It’s a credit to the three promoted teams – Fulham, Bournemouth, and Nottingham Forest – that two of them are safe and Forest have a great chance to stay up.
