With the motivation of victory in the FA Cup, Everton arrives at the 20th date of the Premier League hungry for another victory. On a great night, with James Rodríguez and Yerry Mina as the main protagonists, the Toffees defeated the modest Sheffield Wednesday 3-0, leaving good feelings, facing what is to come in the season finale.
Carlo Ancelotti knows that he must beat his direct rivals if he wants to reach the Champions League goal and, that is why, this Wednesday, he is obliged to put all his chips on the attack -James, Richarlison and Calvert-Lewin- to beat a tough rival like Leicester City.
“They combine very well in attack. Of course, we also need them defensively because I think balance is very important. At this point you cannot rest properly, therefore rotation is important to have players available most of the time. When Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin or James are not available, we try to adapt and we do it very well, but now that they are back there is an expectation in the attack, “said the coach.
With 32 points and two games less than the Foxes, Everton is seventh in the Premier League with 32 points, six points behind Leicester, which is third and accumulates eight games without losing.
Precisely, the last fall of the Brendan Rodgers team was against Everton on December 16, so it will be a difficult and interesting game for both teams.
