Everton fans bombard Finch Farm to cheer team ahead of Leicester trip
Everton will travel to the King Power Stadium on Sunday (8 May) to take on Leicester City as they try to keep their survival bid alive and kicking.
The Toffees secured a huge three points in their previous game at home to Chelsea with the Goodison Park crowd roaring them onto victory but it has been on their travels where they have struggled.
Frank Lampard is yet to taste victory on the road as Everton manager with the last success away from Merseyside coming in August in the Premier League at Brighton.
The forever loyal supporters of the football club know they need to give the team everything and they turned up in their numbers at the training ground to send them on their way to Leicester.
“Wow, brilliant stuff outside Finch Farm right now!” Journalist Adam Jones said via his personal Twitter account about the scenes at the training complex.
Yin and Yang
It is actually fairly common to be better on your home ground than you are on your travels and it is a record that most sides will boast.
But even by those standards, Everton have been absolutely woeful on the road and things cannot go on like this if they want to still be in the Premier League next season.
At the same time as they take on Brendan Rodgers’ Foxes on Sunday, the team they are chasing, Leeds United, will be facing Arsenal so they could climb out of the drop zone by the end of the day.
That should be all the motivation any of those players need to up their game and prove that they aren’t a side only capable of winning on their home turf.
With a sold-out away end, Lampard will not have a better chance to end that away day voodoo with Leicester down in the dumps having lost in Rome on Thursday.
