Kevin Mirallas calls on Everton to show 'passion' from Chelsea Carabao Cup defeat in bid to return to winning ways

Everton will win plenty of points if they play with the same confidence as they did in the second half of their 2-1 Carabao Cup loss to Chelsea, midfielder Kevin Mirallas has said ahead of the club's Premier League trip to Leicester City on Sunday.

Everton, playing their first game under caretaker manager David Unsworth following the sacking of Dutchman Ronald Koeman, delivered an improved performance on Wednesday but it was not enough to stop the London club from making the quarter finals.

Mirallas, who started the game against Chelsea, said he was happy with the desire shown by his team mates and urged them to replicate that in upcoming games as they look to move out of the relegation zone.
