Brendan Rodgers has just given away Leicester's big problem that Everton can exploit

If Frank Lampard was watching Leicester City's defeat to Roma in the Europa Conference League on Thursday evening, as you expect he might well have been, then he could have been given a stark reminder of an important weakness to exploit.

But, he will know that his Everton side will have to do a lot of work themselves if they are to get to that level by the time they travel to the King Power Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

It took 11 minutes on Thursday for the Foxes to show their Achilles' heel once more. Lorenzo Pellegrini whipping in a good, out-swinging corner into the box where he found Tammy Abraham rising well above anyone else to plant a firm header beyond Kasper Schmeichel - ultimately putting the tie beyond Brendan Rodgers' side in the process.

The manager, after his team's exit from European competition, was asked about his decision to have full-back Ricardo Pereira as the man marking the striker from the set piece. But, he defended the choice, claiming that his side didn't have enough tall players for the threats Roma possessed.

He remarked: "No. Everyone else was...they've got five big threats. So that mis-match was going to be somewhere, and unfortunately that's where it came.

"We're a team that's done everything to change the sort of momentum with set pieces. We've got man-to-man, we've gone zonal - clearly it doesn't work consistently enough.

"We've given away too many cheap goals, which has too many times put us on the back foot and cost us."

It'll hardly be a big surprise for Lampard to see Leicester struggle with set pieces if he was tuning in on Thursday. He and his coaching staff meticulously research every opponent they are due to face, they know how many the Foxes concede from those positions.
