Everton aim to stretch their unbeaten streak to three matches when they welcome Leicester City to Goodison Park today (17.30 GMT).
Supporters are generally happy with the progress the Toffees have made this season under Frank Lampard, having narrowly avoided relegation last term.
Everton sit 12th in the table and will be hoping to go unbeaten before the campaign breaks for the World Cup.
The Blues are currently on a two-match unbeaten streak after a 3-0 defeat of Crystal Palce before drawing 0-0 at Fulham last weekend.
And a return to Goodison will instill plenty of confidence into Lampard’s troops as they prepare to face a Leicester side who’re in the relegation zone but only three points behind Everton.
Lampard may be weighing up changes to his starting line-up following the stalemate at Fulham. He’s confirmed Nathan Patterson is now fit enough to start, having coming off the bench against the Cottagers following an ankle injury.
Here’s the Everton team we predict to face Leicester.
