Everton boss Frank Lampard says they face Leicester City on Sunday in good shape.

Everton face a must-win game away to Leicester on Sunday and Lampard says he has no fresh injury concerns.

He said: "No changes for us. We had a pretty good week with recovery for the lads, a couple of little niggles but hopefully we'll be the same as we were (against Chelsea)."

On being charged by the FA for his post-match comments after last month's defeat at Liverpool, he said: "It's an emotional game isn't it and my first job is to protect Everton Football Club, for the players, for the club itself. And for the fans. But I can't talk about it I've got to reply to the FA and at this point, I can't speak any more about it."

Asked about Richarlison, who threw a flare after scoring the winner against Chelsea, Lampard said: "It's another one I can't go into. It's being looked at by the police at the moment. As a club we're doing everything we can, but it just takes time."

On their win against Chelsea, Lampard continued: "It's a nice bounce, a nice feeling but reality kicks in and the next games are the most important ones.

"It's critical for us that we approach these games with a real understanding and real focus.

"At the moment we've got a group of players who are hungry, who are fighting from what we've seen in recent games. Performances like Jordan Pickford's last week are an added bonus.

"We're still in the battle and if you approach it in the idea of changing people's minds, you're doing it in the wrong way.

"I'm not a better manager, sitting there after the win at Chelsea, than I was after the defeat against Tottenham."
