Leicester City match updates from LeicestershireLive as Brendan Rodgers' men travel to Goodison Park to face Everton in Premier League action.

A lovely bit of passing play from Leicester sees them break into the box. The crowd are really up for this one here. 1-0 to City! A few half-chances for either side, but nothing major in the last 15 minutes or so. Fofana heads wide from the resulting corner. Demarai Gray leads a counter attack for Everton in the 17th minute, but Richarlison is unable to finish the move as he stabs his effort wide.

Richarlison scored an injury-time equaliser to snatch a vital 1-1 draw for Everton at home to Leicester in the Premier League.

Lampard had deployed the Brazil international down the middle in the absence of Calvert-Lewin, with Gordon to his right and the former Leicester winger Demarai Gray to the left. Leicester remained a threat on the counterattack. Barnes, Dewsbury-Hall and Maddison regularly threatened to expose Everton on the counterattack. The right-back exchanged passes with Youri Tielemans before releasing Maddison, who considered his options carefully on the right and centred for Iheanacho. The striker’s shot deflected off the lunging Yerry Mina, who was making his first start since 8 February, and fell to Barnes, who steered his first goal in 10 games through the legs of Coleman and in off the far post. Dominic Calvert-Lewin was ruled out of the game, plus Sunday’s Merseyside derby at Anfield, having felt “a small sensation in his quad in training,” according to the Everton manager. Séamus Coleman recovered with a vital challenge to spare his team from the worst possible start, injuring his thigh in the process, but the worst was only delayed.

Everton player ratings for the 1-1 draw against Leicester City at Goodison Park in the Premier League.

He really needed to take the chance that was presented to him by Gordon in the first half, it was a bad miss. That, however, proved to be his only real contribution to the game and he was replaced midway through the second half. Made a fantastic challenge to deny Leicester in the opening seconds of the match, but it was his man who found himself free to score minutes later.

Greg O'Keeffe Greg O'Keeffe There have been some good performances in the front end of the pitch.

Ellis Simms is open to remaining on loan at Hearts but admits the final decision will be Everton's.

The Brazilian cancelled out an early Harvey Barnes goal in the 1-1 draw with Leicester.

It led to Richarlison missing another chance from six yards out, this time a header from a set-piece, and Rondon flashing a header wide and the chance seemed to have gone until the Brazilian finally hit the target to completely alter the mood. On the touchline Lampard was urging calm but his players had adopted a more open approach, which at times meant a five attacking and five defending. The problem was Richarlison, as the central striker, was so far detached from the rest of the team there was little chance of springing a quick riposte.

It led to Richarlison missing another chance from six yards out, this time a header from a set-piece, and Rondon flashing a header wide and the chance seemed to have gone until the Brazilian finally hit the target to completely alter the mood. On the touchline Lampard was urging calm but his players had adopted a more open approach, which at times meant a five attacking and five defending. And when Gordon did break free on the right his cross sailed out of play on the far side, while a Richarlison header and Demarai Gray shot were both off target as Everton tried to fashion a response. Alex Iwobi started to produce more runs from deep but it took a Fabian Delph tackle on Barnes out on the touchline, one of the few the hosts had landed on their opponents, to lift the crowd. The problem was Richarlison, as the central striker, was so far detached from the rest of the team there was little chance of springing a quick riposte. Burnley can reduce the deficit on Everton to a point with a win at home to Southampton on Thursday night, however, the Merseyside club will have played a match less than the Clarets.

Latest Leicester City news from LeicestershireLive brings details on how to watch Brendan Rodgers' side at Goodison Park.

They travel to Arsenal on the final day of the season. Meanwhile, Everton fans will be desperate to take at least a point in order to move four points clear of the relegation zone. Everton on the other hand had a weekend off due to FA Cup commitments for their scheduled opponents.

Everton scored a late equaliser against Leicester City at Goodison Park on Wednesday evening to earn a crucial point in the fight against relegation.

It's the bounce of coming off a win against Manchester United to get another point on the board." "Something we haven't been able to do well in my time here, and before, is draw games when we're not playing as well as we should do. And Lampard admitted that could be crucial for his side, especially considering the difficult fixtures they have on the horizon.

Burnley, Watford and Norwich currently occupy the drop zone but Frank Lampard's Everton are not out of the woods yet.

Everton talking point after the 1-1 draw against Leicester City at home in the Premier League.

The Premier League asks different questions of you in every game and we have to find the answers against Leicester.” This match felt like a huge opportunity for Everton but you’re never going to achieve to amount to much if you can’t string two results together. Frank Lampard’s side weren’t at the races for long periods but they dug deep to claw themselves back into this one.

Frank Lampard's team were heading for defeat, here, smashing away at the door in pursuit of a strike to level Harvey Barnes' fifth-minute goal for Leicester. As ...

He’d had a quiet spell in front of goal before the visit to Burnley a fortnight ago. That was when it became the night Richarlison scored his 50th Everton goal, and one of his most important yet. It was one of those nights for Richarlison, then. He positioned himself front and centre as Everton launched a final raid. Richarlison was six yards out and unencumbered when he met Gordon’s corner form the left. Evertonians, perhaps, feared the game was gone. Burnley will certainly note the 21 points up for grabs over the next four weeks and think they have a shout. It did neither, travelling behind in a rush. Salomon Rondon, on since minute 66, pushed Leicester back, eventually squeezing the ball to Richarlison. Speaking of injuries, Everton feared they’d sustained another inside the opening 30 seconds. It appeared a mis-hit from Gray, at first. Iwobi was offering another hard-running turn, chasing and harrying Leicester’s tidy trio of midfielders.

The Toffees scored a late equaliser through Richarlison to earn a 1-1 draw in their fight against relegation.

“At 1-0 you always have to go right to the end and unfortunately just at the end we conceded the goal. “Once we get into the second half we just need a wee bit more composure in the final third of the pitch to close the game out. “It’s a small run but it is the bounce of coming off a good result against Manchester United to get another point on the board.

Everton 1-1 Leicester: The Brazilian struck in stoppage time to put the Toffees four points clear of the drop.

The latter was allowed to pick out Kelechi Iheanacho with a cross and, while his flick took a telling touch off the sliding Yerry Mina’s back, Barnes had a simple finish for his first goal in 10 games. They were at least a bit more animated after the break, with Goodison roused from its slumber. For Lampard, whose last defeat as Chelsea manager came to Leicester, there was the sense they are not playing a part in his downfall again. Jordan Pickford was only really tested by a vicious effort from Maddison after the break. Perhaps it was as well his equaliser took a touch off Ricardo Pereira, given the waywardness of his other efforts. Everton’s season has been beset by injuries but they can be grateful for injury time at Goodison Park. Their winners against Arsenal and Newcastle came deep in added time and, with 91 minutes on the clock, Leicester were leading.

The level the players played at was a really high level. Once we get into the second half we just need a wee bit more composure in the final third of the pitch to close the game out. At 1-0 you always have to go right to the end and unfortunately just at the end we conceded the goal. It's a small run but it is the bounce of coming off a good result against Manchester United to get another point on the board. It can be an easy thing to throw at the players that they lack spirit or desire and they certainly don't. Something we haven't been able to do well enough in my time here is draw games when we are either are not playing as well as we should do, and there have been games recent where are performances were good and we got nothing.

The Liverpool Echo leads on quotes from Frank Lampard's pre-match press conference where the Everton boss discussed the importance of Fabian Delph to his side.

Burnley are a good team and Burnley are used to fighting to stay in the Premier League. That fact will remain the same.” "And again that’s the beauty of him being honest, because he’ll tell you. “I saw a quote this week saying we’ve been let off the hook because this happened. I think that sometimes shocks people, but I actually really like him for it, because you get to the point really quickly. “In terms of what it means for Burnley going forward, nobody knows. - but a player that has had injury issues and is 30 or more, then we have to manage his training.

Latest Leicester City news from LeicestershireLive as the Foxes drop two points via a 92nd-minute equaliser away at Goodison Park.

Looked to cause openings down the left, particularly in the first half, but didn't cause as much trouble as he would have liked. He was unlucky not to score in the opening 30 seconds. Did not influence the game going forwards as much as he would have liked to. Jonny Evans: As trustworthy as ever at the back. Ricardo Pereira: Played a key part in the move down the right-hand side for City's goal early on. Kasper Schmeichel: Made a couple of comfortable saves but was not put under any immense pressure over the course of the 90 minutes.

Latest Leicester City news from LeicestershireLive as Brendan Rodgers names his starting XI for tonight's Premier League game against Everton at Goodison ...

Adam Jones runs the rule over Everton's 1-1 draw with Leicester City at Goodison Park.

Lampard knows this too, he mentioned after the match that his players need to "dictate" how the atmosphere is going to be. He kept up those aerial battles throughout his time on the pitch, and added to that some fantastic hold-up play and crucial passes to set up his side on an attack. In a situation such as this one, however, all that matters is the contribution to goals. Aside from Alex Iwobi in the first period, who was excellent again, there were not many players truly committing to the press in terms of their sprinting. Perhaps Everton wouldn't have been in such a precarious position towards the end of the match if they had set up in a different manner for this game, however. He'd missed easier opportunities to score earlier in the match, and this time his effort took a deflection which agonisingly took all of the pace out of it. Right now, time and patience are not exactly commodities in abundance for Everton at the bottom end of the table. Brendan Rodgers' side always seemed to have a man in the half-spaces, which Everton were not covering. It might only be one point of difference, but in the grand scheme of things how crucial could that be? But, in the end, the Brazilian typified a never-say-die attitude that proved absolutely vital to his side. But it has to be said that for long period of this game, it really didn't seem like it was going to be Everton's day. Keep that up for the remainder of the campaign, and Frank Lampard's side will more than likely have confirmed their place in the Premier League next term - barring an incredible revival from either Watford or Norwich.

Everton have been tipped to reignite their interest in Derby County manager Wayne Rooney this summer should they finish the season poorly under Frank ...

“Everton are crying out for somebody like that so if Frank Lampard doesn’t have a very good end to the season, part of me does wonder if they’re tempted to knock on the door and say ‘Wayne are you interested at all? “The way that he’s going out and speaking to fans in car parks, the way he’s acting on the touchline, the way he’s getting the best out of certain individuals. “We’ll have to wait and see if that happens but if it did, for example, then they have to go and get Wayne Rooney and that’s the way I would be looking at that.

Frank Lampard reacts to 1-1 draw against Leicester City and explains decision to bring Dele Alli on for Everton.

"But in terms of the demands of training, application and being ready for when that moment comes...I don't think the story was ever going to be simple. He said: "I've got a big level of communication with him. "It's not easy to demand from players who are not playing as much, to come in and impact - but you have to train well to show your manager you deserve a chance.

Everton will not offer a new contract to Jonjoe Kenny as he has 'been on the chopping block for years' at Goodison Park, according to Daily Star journalist ...

As a result, the journalist feels the boyhood Toffees fan needs to come to terms with the fact he will be moving on to pastures new in the summer and start assessing his options. The 25-year-old has been involved in 17 fixtures this season and, while his primary responsibility is to keep the ball out of the back of his own net, Kenny has shown he can be a threat going forward by laying on three assists. Everton will not offer a new contract to Jonjoe Kenny as he has ‘been on the chopping block for years’ at Goodison Park, according to Daily Star journalist Paul Brown.

But at least now they have a fighting chance. That appears to be true wherever they go, let alone Anfield for Sunday’s Merseyside derby. That Everton were able to get anything from a game in which they were so mercilessly outplayed for the first 20 minutes owes much to their endeavour and determination.

A round-up of how the national media reported Everton's 1-1 draw with Leicester City at Goodison Park.

Time was running out for Everton and it was an appropriate way to talk about the night and their season as a whole. Joe Thomas of the Liverpool Echo wrote: “Three hours before kick-off Richarlison tweeted his goalscoring record. “How they made the most of it. He turned to Anthony Taylor, the fourth official, and asked how long Everton had left to save themselves. Never has a point felt so like a win for the Merseysiders. “Richarlison could have had a hat‑trick in a game where Leicester’s superiority in possession failed to translate into clearcut opportunity beyond Harvey Barnes’s early goal.

Latest Leicester City news from LeicestershireLive after Brendan Rodgers spoke to the media following his team's 1-1 draw at Everton.

So every single game that we play, we'll give everything until the last whistle goes in the last game of the season. If we can finish top half of the table and get to a final of the competition that we're in, that will be a really good season for us - in terms of the position we were in with players and injuries and everything else. He gives us that extra dimension at the top end of the field." At 1-0 you've always got to be at it right until the end and we were unfortunate, just at the end, to conceded a goal. Rondon goes to control it and it goes below his foot and the young guy finishes it well. He did have some frustrations, though, with some of his team's passing in the first half as they transitioned into attack.

A mid-season move has yet to work out for club or player, but his manager wants this positive moment to be a new catalyst.

“I don’t think the story was ever going to be simple with Dele,” Lampard mused. For the first time, Goodison seemed to have restorative powers for him on Wednesday. “You have to work and fight through things with him,” he said. Alli’s part was more resourceful than brilliant, more perspiration than inspiration, but he made the run on the right flank and managed to dig out a cross. “We needed a goal and he has trained well,” he said. When Frank Lampard sent for the cavalry, it consisted of him and Salomon Rondon. One substitute was indelibly associated with Rafa Benitez, and was belittled by a section of the Everton support as a result. Alli had been ineffectual in earlier outings for Everton; in an instant, he turned affecter and a defeat became a draw. It may be transformative for Everton’s season and for him, but there have been false dawns in the past three years, games and moments that have offered hints of a renaissance under Jose Mourinho and Nuno Espirito Santo and Antonio Conte, but which became exceptions to the rule in an extended regression. In a tale of two English No. 10s, Maddison was the outstanding player at Goodison Park. Alli looked the afterthought, summoned for his first appearance in more than five weeks as much out of desperation as inspiration. It was the first notable contribution of the Englishman’s Everton career. Alli can seem the lost soul, desperately looking to revive his past. Maddison has the irrepressibility Alli once possessed, the combination of cheek and talent to suggest the future belongs to him.

Leicester have dropped four points from winning positions in the space of four days since sealing a Europa Conference League semi-final tie against Roma.

Sometimes you have to work and fight through things, and we're in that process with him." "But in terms of the demands of training, application and being ready for when that moment comes...I don't think the story was ever going to be simple.
