Everton center-back Yerry Mina will be out for 10 weeks after suffering a quad injury in Everton's game against Newcastle which ended on the defeat for the Toffees. He joins the likes of Ben Godfrey in the injury list. Ben Godfrey suffered an injury in Everton's FA clash against Brentford in which he tore his hamstring and with the game against Leeds United, it makes it quite a predicament for Lampard as the two defenders have been the most reliable for Everton this season.

Lampard has called for the rest of the defending department to step up ahead of the upcoming clash against Leeds United with points a stake. On the bright side for Lampard is that Striker Calvert Lewin is back but there is bad news with the loss of pacy winger Demarai Gray to injury.

With Everton just two points clear from the relegation zone and without a win in 15 premier league games, there is a lot a stake but who will come out on top...?
