Frank Lampard can use Marco Silva's Richarlison tactic to heap more Everton pain on Leicester

Richarlison leading the line is nothing new for Everton these days.

With Dominic Calvert-Lewin sidelined for the majority of the season due to injury, the Brazilian has been used at the point of the attack frequently by manager Frank Lampard and predecessor Rafael Benitez.

It's a role Richarlison fulfils to great effect for his country, although the talent within the Selecao squad means his brief in iconic gold is vastly different to that in royal blue.

After starting his Everton career on the left wing, it was Marco Silva who used Richarlison as the sole centre-forward for the first time a couple of months into the duo's first season at Goodison Park - during a trip to the King Power Stadium against Leicester City in 2018.

Some encouraging cameo performances from another new signing Bernard saw him earn his first Premier League start on the left that day, pushing the acquisition from Watford infield and further forward. Richarlison delivered, as he steered home his compatriot's pinpoint cross and ran the Foxes defence ragged in a 2-1 win; an exasperated and exhausted Wes Morgan felled the Everton forward in the second half to pick up his second yellow card, unable to cope with the new signing's vim and vigour.

Since then, Richarlison has found goal hunting against the Foxes a profitable pursuit, which will encourage Evertonians ahead of Sunday's crucial trip to the King Power on Sunday for another relegation tussle.
