  10. Everton 1-3 Leicester

    Hmmm. A minor blemish on an otherwise perfect pair of winter-kissed cheeks for Leicester here.

    Jamie Vardy goes off holding his hamstring - he doesn't look too concerned and was able to jog. Leonardo Ulloa comes on.

    It was Marc Albrighton who charged down an Everton clearance that saw the ball fall to Jamie Vardy, who squared it for Shinji Olazaki to fire in. Committed stuff from the Foxes.

    Everton 1-2 Leicester

    Danny Mills
    Former Man City defender, Final Score

    "I don't understand why Tim Howard has not been sent off. It's a clear goalscoring opportunity that he has prevented. There is massive inconsistency from referees."
