Leicester City team news v Everton as Mads Hermansen decision made
Mads Hermansen returns to the Leicester City starting line-up with the goalkeeper the only change to Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side at Everton.
After the victory at Tottenham, changes were not expected. But a fit-again Hermansen was never going to be left out and the Dane comes back in after eight games missing with a groin problem. Jakub Stolarczyk drops to the bench.
With no further changes, Bobby De Cordova-Reid makes his second start under van Nistelrooy. The Jamaican, a surprise inclusion at Spurs, responded with two assists and so has been retained on the left wing, with Jordan Ayew on the right.

Woyo Coulibaly, who made his debut off the bench in North London, again has to wait for his first City start. James Justin continues at right-back, with Wout Faes and Jannik Vestergaard again forming the centre-back partnership, and Victor Kristiansen completing the defence at left-back.
Harry Winks and Boubakary Soumare start in midfield with Bilal El Khannouss in front and Jamie Vardy leading the line. Aside from Stolarczyk replacing Daniel Iversen, the bench is unchanged too.
City (4-2-3-1): Hermansen; Justin, Faes, Vestergaard, Kristiansen; Winks, Soumare; Ayew, El Khannouss, De Cordova-Reid; Vardy. Subs: Stolarczyk, Coulibaly, Coady, Okoli, Skipp, Buonanotte, Mavididi, McAteer, Daka.
