Everton midfielder Doucoure not hiding importance of Leicester clash

Everton midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure is calling on his teammates to put in a terrific performance to save themselves from relegation.

The Toffees are traveling to Leicester City on Monday in a must win relegation six pointer.

Doucoure knows beating Dean Smith's Foxes will give them every chance of staying up, as they narrowly did last season.

"It was a massive game last year, I remember, against Leicester," the midfielder recalled, per the Liverpool Echo.

"It is going to be another one on Monday. We have to win games. That's what we need."

He added on the fans support recently: "Of course they were terrific before the game, and they were terrific during the game. The support is big for us.

"We need them more than ever. Even more important than last year because this is very difficult, but they are always here for us, and we really appreciate the support."
