Relegation ‘six pointers’ don’t get much bigger than this, as Leicester City and Everton go head-to-head at the King Power Stadium on Monday.

Kick-off is at 20:00 BST.

The Foxes picked up a point at Leeds United in Gameweek 33, thanks to Jamie Vardy’s late equaliser. He starts tonight in place of the injured Kelechi Iheanacho, who could miss the rest of the season after he sustained a groin injury at Elland Road.

Dean Smith makes two further changes elsewhere. Luke Thomas replaces Victor Kristiansen at left-back, while Wilfred Ndidi comes into midfield in place of Tete.

For the visitors, Sean Dyche makes two alterations, as Seamus Coleman and James Garner come into the starting XI for Ben Godfrey and Amadou Onana. That means Dominic Calvert-Lewin continues up front, flanked by Alex Iwobi and Dwight McNeil.

GAMEWEEK 34 LINE-UPS

Leicester City XI: Iversen, Castagne, Faes, Soyuncu, Thomas, Ndidi, Tielemans, Soumare, Maddison, Barnes, Vardy

Subs: Ward, Souttar, Kristiansen, Amartey, Daka, Dewsbury-Hall, Mendy, Praet, Tete

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Keane, Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Gueye, Garner, Doucoure, Iwobi, McNeil, Calvert-Lewin

Subs: Begovic, Patterson, Davies, Coady, Mina, Onana, Simms, Gray, Maupay

    Who is the better choice going forward Alvarez or Wilson?

    1. Sure You Did
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Wilson, Alvarez is an absolute terrible pick.

    2. pratts18
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I don't like either tbh. Both are rotation risks.

    3. The Senate
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I would really avoid both, xMins so low

  2. Slitherene
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    2 FT | 0.1 ITB

    Steele | Iversen
    TAA Porro Dalot
    Salah KDB Rashford Mitoma March
    Haaland Jota
    ¦ Akanji Toti Greenwood

    I don't want to waste a transfer, is premium switching a good thing?

    1. Sure You Did
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Get rid of Porro, Akanji, Toti or Greenwood.

      1. Slitherene
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks for all the help, mate!

    2. pratts18

      Bring in Newcastle/Chelsea players for Liverpool players for DGW 36,37.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Chelsea players?!

      2. redsallstars
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Chelsea worst double ever, away at both Manchester clubs. I wouldn’t go near any of their players

      3. Slitherene
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        FH 36 for NewC players

      4. The Senate
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Chelsea defenders will be lucky to go above zero, and attackers will have a ceiling of 4, for DGW 37

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Looks like most single gameweek defenders will outscore Chelsea defenders that GW.

        2. pratts18
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Yeah it's not ideal but Chilwell, Felix, Havertz can spring a surprise. I wouldn't mind taking a one week punt on one of their guys

  3. The Senate
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Go on Leicester

    1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yep. For once, I have no dog in today's fight except the desire to see them stay up.

      1. The Senate
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Likewise !

  4. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    So, do we figure KdB misses out tomorrow, as well?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Well won't show up tomorrow that's for sure...

  5. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Gana is...not very good, is he?

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Row Z miles from target

    Just picking this up from previous article.

    "Side note however. Where do you think Rice goes this summer? I honestly don't see him leaving if we win UECL.

    Man City - Pointless, Rodri there, he won't play
    Man Utd - Can't afford him after they go after Kane
    Chelsea - Why would he go to that circus without any kind of European football
    Liverpool - Funds seem to be an issue, can they afford Rice & Bellingham
    Arsenal - Just doesn't feel right/seem to suit, but who knows

    Overseas? Don't think anyone half decent picks him up & can't see him going abroad."

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Bellingham off to Real Madrid according to sources

      1. Zenith UK
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        True, will Liverpool's owners splash on Rice, be interesting to see what happens come the summer!

        1. Marvin.
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Rice will go to Arsenal I think.

          1. Zenith UK
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Someone said that on the last thread but we don't think they can afford it, and I just don't see him there but I do think it's a possibility.

  7. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Great save from Iversen to deny Iwobi...

  8. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Leicester living dangerously here.

  9. g40steve

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Castagne A

  10. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years

    Everton penaltt

  11. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Castagne takes out DCL and Faes

  12. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    DCL goal

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Nice. No Iversen jam.

    2. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Great penalty

  13. g40steve

    Leicester suck

    1. bombonera
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      With the quality in their squad they really shouldn't be near the relegation zone, but their defence is atrocious

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Balls 😉

  16. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Leicester fixtures after this:

    Fulham (A)
    Liverpool (H)
    Newcastle (A)
    West Ham (H)

    No way are they staying up if they lose this game to Everton today.

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      If you lose at home to Everton in a relegation 6 pointer then you deserve to go down.

  17. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    HOLD Castagne and Iversen. 2 points each would be mega.

  18. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Soy goal

  19. g40steve
    • 8 Years

    Soy boy H

  20. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Pickford England number 1 🙁

  21. Scalper
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Lord Farquaad G

  22. bombonera
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Leicester deserve to go down for that goal celebration music alone

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      😀

  23. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Knew the Leicester defensive double up was the one. Just picked the wrong players. Damn variance.

  24. CrouchDown
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Start Isak or Alvarez?

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      We might get early team news, so wait and see. City first match.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I think you really have to ask yourself about your team structure is you need to bench either ... Isak more nailed maybe so start him ?

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        This isn't true after a DGW

  25. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    The joys of watching two teams who are just as bad as each other playing each other.

  26. Scalper
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Leicester are awful. At least play like you’re in a relegation scrap. You’re at home for godsake

  27. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Everton are pants

  28. g40steve

    Alvarez for a hit? Yay or Nay

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Nay

    2. NZREDS
      • 12 Years
