Everton line up confirmed for Leicester City as Duncan Ferguson makes one change

Leighton Baines has come in for the injured Lucas Digne as Everton make just one change for tonight’s game with Leicester City.

Digne has been ruled out with a groin problem and so Baines wins a first start for the Blues since February.

Caretaker boss Ferguson has otherwise kept faith with the side that battled to a draw at Old Trafford on Sunday with Gylfi Sigurdsson and Djibril Sidibe still out having been ill.

Moise Kean is named among the substitutes following the controversial decision to sub him off against Manchester United, despite only being introduced 18 minutes earlier.

Jordan Pickford continues in goal with Seamus Coleman ©, Michael Keane, Yerry Mina and Baines making up the defence.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison are the two upfront.

Everton’s substitutes are Maarten Stekelenburg, Kean, Cuco Martina, Cenk Tosun, Oumar Niasse, Adeniran and Anthony Gordon.

Everton: Pickford, Coleman, Baines, Mina, Keane, Holgate, Davies, Iwobi, Bernard, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin.

Subs: Stekelenburg, Tosun, Kean, Niasse, Martina, Adeniran, Gordon.
