🚨EXCLUSIVE :Steve Cooper will set Leicester City up to fail if he does not do one key thing for Everton clash

admin

Steve Cooper has the biggest game of his short spell in charge of Leicester City on Saturday when Everton arrive at the King Power.

   Leicester City are yet to win under Steve Cooper in the Premier League and surrendered a 2-0 lead to draw against Crystal Palace last time out.

   Jamie Vardy and Stephy Mavididi were on target for the Foxes at Selhurst Park before Jean-Philippe Mateta’s brace denied Cooper a first league win of the campaign.

   Next up is a potential six relegation points when Leicester host Everton at the King Power, with the Toffees not only winless but bottom of the Premier League without a single point.

   This game is firmly in the ‘must win’ category and Cooper should make a change to his side to increase Leicester’s chances of victory.

   Facundo Buonanotte has to start Leicester City’s game against Everton

   Cooper has now drawn against Palace and Tottenham Hotspur, with 2-1 defeats to Fulham and Aston Villa in the league.

   The biggest positive is that Leicester have been competitive in each of their games so far, but they must now take a chance on achieving Cooper’s elusive League One win.

   That should prompt Cooper to bring Brighton loanee Facundo Buonanotti into the starting line-up to provide a creative spark and help Leicester take the game to an Everton side lacking in confidence.

   Buonanotte has impressed since joining this summer, with his dribbling skills combined with an eye for a pass, and he also showed his eye for goal with a strike against Villa.

   The attacking midfielder has not started the last two games as Cooper looks to strengthen the midfield by playing against the trio of Oliver Skipp, Harry Winks and Wilfred Ndidi, but a defensive-minded trio would have shown a real lack of ambition against Everton.

   Jamie Vardy should thrive with Buonanotte in the Leicester side

   Even at 37, Vardy is still Leicester’s main man and has scored in both of the club’s draws this season.

   The veteran striker has so far been fed scraps since his return to the Premier League, but Buonanotte’s return could mean more opportunities for Vardy.

   Buonanotte’s first thought is always forward and he will try to slip through balls that Vardy can run onto against a sluggish Everton backline.

   Everton will be hard to beat and Leicester will need to take the initiative and Cooper can do that by adding Buonanotte’s creative spark from the start.

   Without it, it could be a frustrating afternoon with Skipp, Winks and Ndidi lacking the guile to unlock a stubborn defence.
