Everton v Leicester Sunday 4pm

[Ell Capitan]

Is Morgan back, anyone know?

Don't see it.

This has the feel of one of those injuries which will take far longer to clear up than the initial noises coming out of the club. We've had a fair few of those before.

[dazfrancis]

This for me. Better with an untried right back than Pennington in the centre.

Is Kenny the captain of the U23's?

Pennington would benefit from a stint on loan to a championship team

[Audrey Horne]

Has Kenny been on the bench for us?

[Cozzie]

Real shame. We look so Rolls Royce when he plays. The type of guy we can build the team around.

Off topic but a little bit of good news. The Echo reporting Williams only suspended for one game as his offence wasn't violent conduct.

Think he was on it for the Utd game?

Yeah, I assumed that at the time.

[pjk]

Morgan Schneiderlin is to have a fitness test tomorrow but might be fit to play. It sounds like it's 50-50. Fingers crossed.

Why is this match being played on a Sunday when Leicester have a CL game on Wednesday ?

Why is this match being played on a Sunday when Leicester have a CL game on Wednesday ?

Because it's deemed in enough time for them to prepare for Wednesday.

...........if they'd played Tuesday our game was going to be changed to 12-30 Saturday so it's turned out better for us.

Because the Grand National is on the Saturday, having a home game on same day will cause many problems, policing, traffic etc...

Or because Sky wanted it to be, they rule the roost when it comes to football.

Normally if they had had CL match last Wednesday their league game would be on a Sunday, this way round makes no sense ? This fixture was originally down for Saturday 3pm then there was an announcement on the OS about a month ago saying that if Leicester got through to the Quarter finals of the CL the match would be switched to Sunday 4pm that would only make sense if the CL match had been last Wednesday ?

Ah that makes sense re the Grand National, that's probably why.

[velimski]

The premier league also don't give a shit about giving English teams enough time to prepare for a European fixture, but it would appear that they DO give a shit about giving English teams enough time to prepare for a premier league game AFTER a European one.

...............you've got it arse about face. It was originally scheduled for Sunday 4pm and MIGHT have been moved to Saturday lunchtime. It was never going to be Sat 3pm because of the National.
