    GOAL - Everton 0-1 Leicesterpublished at 58 mins

    Jamie Vardy

    That's what they say about quality strikers - quiet all game, then come up with the goal.

    It is a nothing-much lump forward into the Everton half, Michael Keane attempts to control the ball, but succeeds only in gifting it to Ricardo Pereira.

    Jamie Vardy is already peeling into the space behind Keane as he heads off to try and redeem the situation.

    The pass plays in the England striker and he beats Jordan Pickford with a low precise finish as Kurt Zouma tries in vain to get a block in.

    Everton have a corner after a flurry of air-shots and mis-kicks. Kurt Zouma and Michael Keane roll up from the back.

    Can the Blues force something here?

    There has not been a radical improvement in the general standard of play.

    HT: Everton 0-0 Leicester

    A game crying out of the quality of Marc Albrighton or James Maddison? Both are on the Leicester bench.

    Could Tom Davies do a similar job from among the Everton substitutes?

    Right, let's name names around this crime scene.

    First up on the stand, Leicester's Ben Chilwell has lost possession 22 times. About once every two minutes. For context he only coughed up possession 17 times in the whole of the weekend's defeat by Cardiff.

    In blue, Jonjoe Kenny has the lowest passing accuracy of any player on the pitch, finding his man with just 46.4% of the time.

    You know the atmosphere is quiet when you can hear the players' individual shouts, but it always is a bit quieter on New Years Day.

    The players need to produce something to get the fans excited and so far not much has happened.

    He is up and wincing after banging his hips into a scrolling promotion for a spread-betting firm.

    Jordan Pickford is wearing a cap - baseball, not flat sadly.

    Look at the peak on that bad boy though. It looks like the sort of thing Leonardo di Caprio would wear to dodge the snappers on his way to yacht full of swimwear models.

    Kurt Zouma decides to take the situation into his own hands, strolling forward and zeroing in on the top corner.

    But his 25-yarder, swerves off target, endangering some of the home fans behind Kasper Schmeichel's goal rather than the back of the net.

    It's a very strong challenge by Jonny Evans. It is probably fair, no malice, just a coming together. Richalison comes off worse. But you are always worried when players go in as strongly as Evans did.

    Jonny Evans' heavy first touch means his second is a crunching entry into a 50:50 with Richarlison.

    The Everton striker is down and wincing in pain. A couple of minutes treatment, a quick dab of the magic sponge and we are back underway.

    No yellow.

    Leicester's Rachid Ghezzal tries a hugely ambitions long-range effort from 25 yards and a tight angle.

    It is on target, if straight into Jordan Pickford's arms.

    Given the general standard of the play in this match though, that is highlight reel gold.
