Everton hosts Leicester City in the English EFL Cup quarterfinals. The match will be played on Wednesday, December 18th at Goodison Park (Liverpool)
The former legend of Everton has successfully debuted as head coach. Duncan Ferguson managed to set his men up for the match with Chelsea, and the Toffees held one of the best games of the season. Then they managed to get points at Old Trafford, where they were the first to break the match open. This is the case when the resignation of the coach is good for the team. Now Everton’s players, inspired by the appointment of Ferguson, who warmly greeted his men and eagerly celebrated the goals of his team, are ready to repulse Leicester as well.

As for Leicester, the Premier League is still a priority. Despite a solid margin from the fifth place, Rogers will still not want to load his men with extra matches in January. Moreover, the Foxes will play at Etihad on Saturday, and then they have to fight for points with Liverpool. In anticipation of such difficult matches, Rogers will surely not field the first eleven in the cup game with Everton.
Given the upcoming games of the Foxes, I do not think that they will give all the best in the cup match. Moreover, Everton is on a roll now. The men of Duncan Ferguson not only effectively used their attempts in the home game with Chelsea but also showed a reliable game in defense. The Toffees were under a flurry of attacks at Old Trafford but managed to stand ground, having conceded only one goal at the end of the match. On the wave of success, Everton is able to deal with the semi-reserve lineup of Leicester. Do not forget how effectively the Toffees dealt with Sheffield and Watford in the previous stages, beating them with a total score of 4-0. As for Leicester, they had problems in a match with the representative of the Premier League (Newcastle United). And the Foxes managed to beat the Magpies only in the penalty shootout. I do not think that the Foxes will cope with Everton, which restrained the onslaught of Manchester United and Chelsea in recent matches.
Prediction for the match: Everton to win with +0.5 handicap
