When you are in a relegation battle, the best thing to do is to get out of the other competitions as soon as possible and concentrate on the ‘ultimate’ (and the richest) prize – Premier League survival. But, on Tuesday night both Bournemouth and Everton didn’t want to be humiliated, since they are both in the same plight, but at the end, it was Toffies on the losing end of their League Cup encounter. And they were humiliated too – 4:1.Everton have lost three consecutive games in all competitions against only three current Premier League sides:◎ Manchester City◎ Aston Villa◉ BournemouthBogey teams. 😒 pic.twitter.com/3tfcnL6fXE— Squawka (@Squawka) November 8, 2022 What can be worse than being soundly defeated by your relegation competitor? Well, another game with the same opponent, and that’s exactly what Frank Lampard is facing now. The Toffies will again travel to Bournemouth, but this time for the Premier League duel with the Cherries, and they will have to be much, much better if they are to avoid another defeat. Pickford, Coady and Tarkowski were left out of the squad and it proved costly, as Lampard’s men played certainly the worst match so far, but here is another costly fact – Bournemouth made nine changes and still came out on top. Back to the drawing board for Lampard. Leicester are in a good vibe after a terrible start of the season, and Brendan Rodgers certainly didn’t want to risk it with a lot of reserve players against a fourth-tier Newport County. Evans, Soumare, Peres, Barnes and Vardy all started and secured a comfortable 3-0 win, with the former England striker scoring a brace.
