Everton line-up confirmed for Leicester as Anthony Gordon and Nathan Patterson decisions made

Dwight McNeil replaces Anthony Gordon as Frank Lampard makes just the one change for the visit of Leicester City.

The 22-year-old earns a place in the starting line-up as Everton chase what would be an important win before the World Cup break. McNeil edges out the England Under-21 international, who is on the bench, for his first start since the trip to Tottenham Hotspur, when Gordon missed out due to suspension. Both scored last time Everton were at Goodison Park, in the 3-0 win over Crystal Palace.

But club captain Coleman maintains his place - and the armband.
