Team News: Maarten Stekelenburg out for Everton

Stekelenburg out for Everton

Maarten Stekelenburg has missed out on Everton's trip to Leicester City this afternoon.

Joel Robles stands in between the sticks after the keeper suffered a collision during the Merseyside derby last week.

Meanwhile, Ross Barkley and Enner Valencia find themselves on the bench, while James McCarthy is out with a hamstring issue. Taking their places are Mason Holgate, Gareth Barry and Kevin Mirallas.

The hosts are without frontman Jamie Vardy after the club failed to overturn the red card the striker picked up from tackling Stoke City's Mame Biram Diouf last time out.

Shinji Okazaki partners Islam Slimani up front in Vardy's absence in one of four changes from the lineup that faced the Potters.

Christian Fuchs and Robert Huth are missing from the squad as they are suspended after picking up five yellow cards apiece, while Riyad Mahrez drops to the bench. The holes are filled by Marcin Wasilewski, Ben Chilwell and Demarai Gray.

Leicester City: Schmeichel; Simpson, Morgan, Wasilewski, Chilwell; Gray, King, Amartey, Albrighton; Slimani, Okazaki Subs: Hernandez, Drinkwater, Musa, Zieler, Ulloa, Mendy, Mahrez

Everton: Robles; Holgate, Ashley Williams, Funes Mori; Coleman, Gueye, Barry, Baines; Lennon, Mirallas; Lukaku Subs: Jagielka, Deulofeu, Barkley, Cleverley, Valencia, Davies, Hewelt
