Duncan Ferguson is to remain in caretaker charge of Everton for Wednesday night's Carabao Cup quarter-final against Leicester City, the Club can confirm.

A sell-out crowd will welcome Ferguson and his players out of the tunnel at Goodison Park for the visit of Brendan Rodgers' side as the Blues look to book a place in the last four of the competition.

Ferguson oversaw a stirring 3-1 victory over Chelsea in Everton's last Goodison appearance before leading the team to a 1-1 draw at in-form Manchester United on Sunday.

John Ebbrell, Francis Jeffers and goalkeeper coach Alan Kelly will again be alongside Ferguson in the home dugout.
