... well, not entirely - here are a few stats

- it was our 50th home meeting with Southampton and our 100th at all venues

- we were knocked out on penalties, of course, but the official match result was a draw
- that continues our unbeaten recent home run against the Saints - W10 D5 L0 in the last 15

- it was the first time we've been involved in a penalty shoot-out without having played extra time
- and the loss continued our miserable record in them - we've won just 6 of the 15 we've contested!

- click here to see the full rotten record

- just out of interest, here's a full list of all the players who've missed from the spot for us in a shoot-out:

- Joe Royle, Paul Wilkinson, Neil Adams, Neil Pointon, John Oster, Ibrahima Bakayoko, Joe-Max Moore,
- Kevin Campbell (twice!), David Unsworth, Leon Osman, Steve Watson, Yakubu, Phil Jagielka (twice!),
- Tim Cahill, Jermaine Beckford, Leighton Baines, Steven Naismith, Joel Robles, Richarlison & Theo Walcott

- oh, and Leighton Baines's Everton playing career now stretches to 11 years and 38 days
- he's moved ahead of Brian Harris and Mick Lyons and is now 25th on our longest playing career chart

- and so on to Leicester away on October 6th!

- legendary Everton centre-forward Tommy Lawton was born on October 6th in 1919
- Tommy scored 70 goals in 95 appearances in the 1930's after replacing a certain Dixie Dean

- we’ve never played Leicester before in an October 6th fixture
- and we drew on our last outing on that date, 2-2 away at Wigan in 2012

- our last Oct 6 win was a 4-2 League Cup 2nd Round 2nd Leg victory over Lincoln at Goodison in 1993
- that saw us progress 8-5 on aggregate

- our last away win on October 6th came at Coventry in 1973
- late goals from Mick Lyons (82’) and John Connolly (91’) did the trick that day

- we beat Leicester the last time we played them
- that was 2-1 at Goodison last January with a double from Theo Walcott

- that was the latest in an up-and-down set of results for us against the Foxes
- W-L-W-L-W-L, home and away in all competitions in the last 6

- away from home we’ve only won once in our last 9 visits to their ground – W1 D5 L3

- the one win in that sequence was a 2-0 victory on Boxing Day 2016
- with goals from Kevin Mirallas and, in injury time, Romelu Lukaku

- our last trip to the King Power Stadium ended in a 2-0 defeat in October 2017

- expect goals!
- our last 12 meetings with Leicester home and away in all competitions have seen each side score 22 goals!

- and expect a draw!
- our full record against them in the Premier League is P24 - W7 D13 L4

- oh, and this will be our 50th Top Flight encounter against Leicester at their place!

- if they play at Leicester it will be the 50th Premier League game for us for 2 players
- Morgan Schneiderlin and Dominic Calvert-Lewin are the men in question!

- a win at Leicester, by the way, would be the 600th away from home in our Top Flight history!

- Andre Marriner will referee the game
- we’ve lost on all of his most recent 5 matches in the middle!

- oh, dear!
- 2 of those 5 were against Leicester too!

- in his last 7 in charge, our record is W1 D0 L6!

- will he send anyone off?
- there have been 5 dismissals in all previous Everton fixtures with Leicester – all of them Everton players!

- the guilty parties were Duncan Ferguson (twice!), Vinnie Samways, Colin Harvey and Dave Hickson

- and will Mr Marriner award a penalty ?
- if he gives one to Leicester it will be the 200th for all of our opponents in all of our away League games ever!

- if Leicester miss a pen it will be the 100th missed by all of our opponents in all of our away League games
- and if either side miss one it would be the 150th missed in total in all of our away League games

- the match is a Saturday 3.00pm game, of course

- home and away on a Saturday (whatever the kick-off time) we are unbeaten in 9 games – W3 D6 L0
- and we’ve only lost once in 12 – W5 D6 L1

- away from home we’re unbeaten in 5 Saturday games – W2 D3 L0

- and in our last 10 Saturday matches kicking off at 3.00pm, home and away, we haven’t lost – W6 D4 L0!
- whilst away from home we’re unbeaten in 4 – W2 D2 L0 and have lost just once in 9 – W3 D5 L1
