DAVID UNSWORTH should get the Everton job – but why have Leicester gone for Claude Puel?

They were league champions. Now they’re taking a manager who was sacked by Southampto­n because he wasn’t entertaini­ng enough.

It was dull, dull, dull when he was at Saints and there is no chance of him changing now he’s at Leicester.

If they lose to Everton tomorrow there will be mayhem – the fans won’t have that.

Southampto­n had good attacking players, but they never really made any chances.

Inside

You can’t tell me this Leicester team has bags more attacking talent in it.

This is a massive game for both clubs. It’s season-defining and I think Everton might win now Unsworth is in charge.

I hope he is given a chance there because he has some massive advantages over anyone else they could try and bring in.

Unsworth knows the club inside out. He knows how it works and what it means to be Everton manager.

He’s had success with the youth team and he knows the players.

If they go for someone else, they would need three months to get to know the ®Êby PAUL BROWN players and Everton could be in trouble by then. It wasn’t the worst start for Unsworth. Yes, they got beat, but while Chelsea had some kids in there, they also had plenty of the big names and they needed Cesc Fabregas and Alvaro Morata before the end. I think this is a huge game for both clubs. If Leicester win, they would have won back-to-back league games and they’re in a cup quarter-final. But if they lose, the momentum changes. Everton probably need a win even more badly. I’ve seen them get absolutely rinsed at home to Tottenham and then let in five there to Arsenal. Goodison Park was one of the hardest places to go to when I played the game. But Ronald Koeman lost the dressing room. You can tell if the players are playing for you – and they weren’t for the Dutchman. They to struggle because the Romelu Lukaku.
