Everton need three points when in-form Leicester visit Goodison Park on Wednesday. The home side sit ninth in an increasingly congested league, six points behind their midweek visitors in seventh but only as many points ahead of the relegation zone. Three points from the past 18 available has led to nervous glances over the shoulder again. Leicester, meanwhile, are unbeaten in six matches and have won their past three.
With Everton at such a low ebb, the returning Seamus Coleman can hopefully inspire some reaction among his teammates. Coleman cannot do too much too soon on his return from a serious leg break and 10 months out of action, but assuming the injury has no lasting impact, the 29-year-old can gradually look to regain his best form and add another dimension to a right flank that Everton favour but gain little output from.
