Referee Darren England called Leicester boss Steve Cooper and Everton's Sean Dyche together in the tunnel to discuss the sitation. He was also seen testing the pitch by bouncing a ball on it. 

The players were lining the tunnel as the torrential downpour continued.

Eventually, England chose to push back the kickoff and wait for the weather to clear.
