Monday's newspapers contain more fallout from the 2-2 draw at Leicester City.
 
Captain Phil Jagielka spoke to the Liverpool Echo after the game and says he hopes the Goodison Park roar will help Everton pick up victories in the upcoming clashes against Arsenal and Chelsea.
 
The Echo's analysis of the draw against the Foxes includes a look at Steven Pienaar's return to form following an injury-hit last campaign.
 
Roberto Martinez also tells the local publication that he was delighted to give striker Romelu Lukaku a full 90 minutes ahead of schedule following the Belgian's extended summer break.
 
In the Daily Star, Express and Telegraph, Steven Naismith says the Toffees have got the strength in depth to cope with the loss of Ross Barkley.
 
The midfielder was sidelined with a knee injury on the eve of the new season, with the severity to be determined this week.
 
Naismith, meanwhile, receives the majority of the newspapers' Man of the Match honours for his hard-working display and well-taken goal.
