Everton have had their best start in England in 125 years with their first full season for Carlo Ancelotti. Fans of “butterscotch” could not dream of this. That is why it is twice as offensive that they cannot share this joy with the team at the stadiums. The Italian wards, taking into account the League Cup, have won seven matches in a row. In the championship Everton beat Tottenham (1:0), West Bromwich (5:2), Crystal Palace (2:1) and Brighton (4:2) and in the League Cup they passed Salford (3:0), Fleetwood (5:2) and West Ham (4:1). Everton started the season as a full-fledged top club. Ancelotti’s team tops single-handedly the table before the derby. The butterscotch home winning streak has already reached four meetings. And only in one of these matches did Everton win by less than three goals. For four rounds, Carlo Ancelotti’s teams have accumulated several personnel problems. Injured midfielders Andre Gomes and Allan Marquez, who are accompanied in the infirmary by Jean-Philippe Gbamen, Jonjo Kenny, Mason Holgate and Jenk Tosun. In addition, Theo Walcott and Moise Keene left the team.
Lecce played sixteen seasons in Serie A, but spent most of the history not even in Serie B, but in Serie C. In the history of the southerners there was also bankruptcy and redistribution of the club, so now leaving Serie A last season does not look so lousy. In addition, Lecce really sets himself the goal of returning to Serie A as early as possible. The team has a good backbone, as well as a talented coach Eugenio Corini is capable of much. And a number of players who played in Serie A remained in the club. Now, after two rounds, Lecce is in fourth place. The team started very well and has not yet conceded. In the last game, the away team defeated Ascoli 2-0. Defensive play is what Corini sees as the key to promotion and will continue to hone it.
