Carlo Ancelotti’s work gradually began to bear fruit. Everton are having a great season in the Premier League, justifiably claiming the European Cup zone. According to results of the last round in the championship, the “toffee” took the fourth place in the standings. Now the Liverpool team is on a series of three victories in a row. It began with a home match against Chelsea (1:0) and continued in an away confrontation with Leicester (2:0). On December 19, the “butterscotch” broke the resistance of the crisis “Arsenal” at home (2:1), having already issued the eighth victory in the championship. Everton’s path in the English League Cup began with the 1/32 finals, where the team easily beat Salford (3:0). In the next two stages, the Liverpool club sorted out away with Fleetwood (5:2) and at home with West Ham (4:1). Allan, Fabian Delph, Luca Dinh and Jean-Philippe Gbamen will not play for hosts today due to injuries. The participation of midfielder James Rodriguez remains in question.
Lazio started the season much more modestly. Simone Inzaghi’s team was torn into two fronts and due to this suffered results in Serie A. At the moment, the Eagles are on the eighth line in the table with 21 points in the asset, lagging behind the fourth Roma by three points, which leave a decent chance for the team to advance to the Champions League zone. In the last round Lazio pulled themselves together and interrupted an unsuccessful streak of two in a row, significantly increasing their chances of advancing to the Champions League zone. The Eagles confidently outplayed Napoli with a score of 2:0 at home for their sixth win of the season. The next goal was scored by Ciro Immobile. For him this is the eighth goal in the championship and Cristiano Ronaldo is four accurate hits behind in the list of scorers. More football analysis today can be obtained from the link provided.
