Goodison Park would represent a significant test of Leicester City’s staying power even without Claudio Ranieri losing several key players to injury and suspension. Robert Huth, Danny Drinkwater and Jeffrey Schlupp will all be absent against an Everton team that is pleasing on the eye but not satisfying supporters with recent results. The league’s leading goalscorers, Jamie Vardy and Romelu Lukaku, go head to head on what feels an important afternoon for both managers. Andy Hunter
