Yes, Everton will miss Romelu Lukaku, but getting five players in for roughly the money from his sale could make them this transfer window's big winners.

If they add Gylfi Sigurdsson to the squad pot too, then Ronald Koeman surely has the ingredients to make it a 'magnificent seven' scrap at the top rather than the usual 'big six'.

Stoke's transfer business so far has been a little uninspiring, but as they begin a 10th successive Premier League season we can be confident that there'll be an 11th.

They are notoriously slow starters though, and I don't see that changing.

Wayne Rooney's homecoming is the biggest pre-match story - and I sense it might be afterwards too.

Wayne Rooney starts in the Premier League for Everton for the first time in 13 years, following his return to Goodison Park this summer.

The 31-year-old is one of five new arrivals in the Toffees' starting XI, with goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, defender Michael Keane, midfielder Davy Klaassen and forward Sandro Ramirez all making their league debuts for the club today.

Everton XI: Pickford, Keane, Jagielka, Williams, Baines, Schneiderlin, Gueye, Klaassen, Calvert-Lewin, Rooney, Sandro.

Stoke give debuts to Darren Fletcher and loan signing Kurt Zouma, while Bojan returns after his loan spell at Mainz last season and Saido Berahino leads the line.

Stoke XI: Butland, Pieters, Zouma, Shawcross, Cameron, Fletcher, Allen, Diouf, Shaqiri, Bojan, Berahino.

We're gearing up for the first Saturday 3pm kick-offs of the Premier League season and the goals are already in full flow in the English top flight - 13 in two games so far!

Here's hoping for a few at Goodison Park then, where a host of new signings start for both sides, including one Mr Wayne Rooney after a 13-year absence.

The home side have spent big, visitors Stoke not so much, but let's dive straight in and have a look at who makes the cut...
