Everton will have Morgan Schneiderlin back in the fold Sunday as the French midfielder makes his return to the starting XI against Leicester City after a calf injury forced him to miss a pair of matches.

Schneidlerin, who hasn't featured since March 18, was forced to miss two crucial matches as Everton fell to Liverpool before drawing with Manchester United.

Before the knock, Schneiderlin appeared in 10 league matches for the Toffees after joining the Merseyside outfit from United in January.

Matthew Pennington was the only other change to the starting XI that featured for Everton against Manchester United on Tuesday.

Everton will look to put an end to Leicester City's six-match win streak in an effort to keep its hopes of landing a European place for next season alive.
