MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES
Guy Mowbray: "First Monk, then Mourinho - but we can relax about Roberto Martinez being safe enough to beat the Leicester curse of the last fortnight.
"Just beating them will be a big enough challenge, with the Foxes guaranteed to be top at Christmas with yet another win. Last year they were bah-humbug bottom.
"For the first time this season they'll have a changed central defensive duo - not ideal when facing Romelu Lukaku, the only man stopping the table-toppers from also having the top two scorers in the Premier League in their team.
"Talking of goalscorers, Leicester haven't won at Everton since 30 years ago this week - when Gary Lineker was playing.
For Everton!!

WHAT THE MANAGERS SAY
Everton manager Roberto Martinez: "Normally the expected sides are in the best positions. Leicester are an inspiration and the way they play is very refreshing.
"Neutral fans will have a soft spot towards Leicester. It's the worst time to play them. Leicester are a very good team who deserve to be top.
"They are title contenders because of how competitive they've been. Leicester have no fear and they know exactly what they're doing. We know we will have to be at our best."
Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri: "Of course I would like (to win the title). Who doesn't like to win the Premier League?
"I speak about Sir Alex [Ferguson] - Sir Alex knows when the horses arrive in the last ten metres or 100 metres. I want to see my horses at the end of the race."
