Sunday’s events continue with both Merseyside teams in action as Everton host Leicester City at Goodison and Liverpool make the testing trip to the south coast to take on Southampton.

It’s four home matches without a win for Everton as they host Nigel Pearson’s Foxes – a team that have lost four on the bounce going into today’s meeting. Leighton Baines, who’d notched assists in two of his last five appearances before succumbing to injury, is back in contention after being passed fit by Roberto Martinez on Friday afternoon. Meanwhile, Romelu Lukaku has registered a solitary goal in the past 11 Gameweeks, but heads into this fixture with momentum, having recorded his first hat-trick for the Toffees in their midweek Europa tie. Likewise, the Belgian’s opposite number, Andrej Kramaric, arrives in fine fettle having netted in the Leicester’s past two matches in all competitions.

Gameweek 26 concludes with a clash between Champions League hopefuls Southampton and Liverpool at St Mary’s Stadium, as Brendan Rodgers’ unit attempt to extend their unbeaten run to 10 league matches. Daniel Sturridge has delivered a goal and two assists in three appearances since recovering from injury, whilst fit-again Raheem Sterling has notched two goals and assists in his previous six league matches. The Reds face a tough task in breaching a Saints backline that has served up a clean sheet in eight of their 13 St Mary’s matches, though, whilst Ronald Koeman will be desperate for Graziano Pelle to get amongst the goals to end an eight-match barren run.

    4. Billy Gilmore

      Lukaku shouldn't even be credited with the 2nd either...

    1. Mata-Is-The-Juan
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Atsu with the cross.

      1. Mata-Is-The-Juan
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        My bad.

    Lukaku is up there with the worst BPL strikers in my eyes.

    Chelsea will be chuffed with the money Everton paid haha!

      • 13 Years

      are you having a laugh? his goal return so far for a 21 year old is decent

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

    2. BRONALDINHO
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      He;s been a beast since he was a feet taller than the other 16 year olds. He just needs the right manager to teach him tactics IMO

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        I think he's at his peak, this is the type of form you will get from lukaku throughout his career.... He's been with great managers .....

        Lukaku has fans 😯

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          I think some people mostly in the Far East eg Japan support players instead of teams eg Kagawa and Nakamura and will support whatever club they play for

          1. Ziro Becomes One
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            Same as people from London support London clubs... Just looking for loyalty and familiarity. No?

              I wasn't really criticising the practice I was more commenting on the fact that it happens then anything

      3. Mílanista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago
