James Maddison's creativity is magnificent, he's one of the only players in English football who can create something out of nothing. Having him back on the bench is a big one for Leicester and players like Jamie Vardy will love to see him back, starting, as soon as possible.

Leicester City

Brendan Rodgers says his team "did great" to finish in the top six but he must be disappointed not to be in the Champions League after such a strong first half of the season.

"We would like to bring in more quality to the squad," he tells Sky Sports.

West Brom give a start to Grady Diangana after he helped the club to promotion from the Championship last season and joined the Baggies on a permanent deal in the summer from West Ham.

West Brom XI: Johnstone, Furlong, Bartley, Ajayi, O'Shea, Gibbs, Pereira, Livermore, Sawyers, Diangana, Robinson

Leicester give a debut to Belgium international full-back Timothy Castagne, after joining from Atalanta to replace Ben Chilwell. We reckon that Wilfred Ndidi will indeed slot in at centre-back.

Expect Leicester to do some shopping there?

Jamie Vardy leads the line again for the Foxes, but James Maddison is on the bench.

Leicester XI: Schmeichel, Justin, Soyuncu, Ndidi, Castagne, Tielemans, Mendy, Praet, Perez, Barnes, Vardy.

Leicester City

Leicester’s Jamie Vardy has scored in all four of his away Premier League appearances against West Bromwich Albion – the only player in Premier League history to play more away matches against an opponent and score in each match is Ruud van Nistelrooy at Newcastle (scored in all five).

West Brom name a very settled side - in fact there's no debutants and there's just one change from their last game in the Championship as Kieran Gibbs comes in.

Leicester make six changes from their last outing a few months ago. Caglar Soyuncu is the only centre-back so it could be a case of a midfielder filling in or a back three. We shall see.

Timothy Castagne makes his debut.

Everton's deal for James Rodriguez is a significant moment not merely because of the global profile he will afford the Merseysiders but because it illustrates the pulling power and influence of Carlo Ancelotti.

It may be a brutal assertion but it is highly unlikely, to put it mildly, that he would have left Real Madrid for Everton had Ancelotti not been at Goodison Park.

This was exactly the sort of attraction owner Farhad Moshiri had in mind when he appointed Ancelotti in December. He knew A-listers who may not have considered a move to the club before might put it on their radar now the calm, charismatic Italian is manager.

Rodriguez's role will be to add creativity and goals to Everton as Ancelotti rebuilds the front end of the team and injects fresh impetus into a midfield that simply was not fit for purpose last season.

West Bromwich Albion

Albion boss Slaven Bilic: "We don't want to compete as a Championship side who is going to try and do something in the Premier League. We are going to compete as a very confident side that expects to stay in the league for a long time.

"People are tipping West Brom to go down. It's great to be in that situation, in a sense that 'let's show them, let's show them that they're all wrong.'"

Leicester City

Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers: "No we don't (have a big enough squad), and that's something I've been pretty clear on.

"Our idea this year was to improve the depth of our squad. I've always said the players last season showed many great moments and for them to improve it's going to need time, work on the training field.

"But you can't also get away from having to improve, you need quality and that's something we've talked about it and something we hope to give the squad in order to help it."

Everton

'Everton should just re-appoint Moyes and be happy with midtable.'

Yeah, or you could get Carlo and get signings like this:

Of course, James Rodriguez could yet be a big-name flop. The new Ibrahima Bakayoko.

But every neutral is surely excited, at least intrigued, to see Everton. And you haven't said that too much in recent years...

Yes, about those Everton signings...
