It would not be surprising if the only reason Marco Silva is still Everton’s manager is because no one else would want to walk into the hellish run of fixtures on which he is about to embark. Winning at Leicester would certainly silence Silva’s critics for a while but it is hard to see how such a result could be achieved, with Leicester’s fluency, solidity and sharpness offering an almost perfect contrast to Everton. A sixth consecutive victoryfor Brendan Rodgers’ team is the safest bet, particularly in light of a mounting injury list for the visitors. Paul Doyle
