Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Roberto Martinez has named a pretty familiar team for the first game of the 2014-15 season.
LIVE:
The Everton boss has named Romelu Lukaku and Gareth Barry in the starting XI - both were on loan at the club last season - but his other new signings Muhamed Besic and Christian Atsu will not be handed their full debuts today.
Nigel Pearson has gone a similar route to his opposing manager, naming just one new transfer in his starting line0up.
Leonardo Ulloa, a £7m signing from Brighton, will start alongside David Nugent up front. Ulloa scored 16 goals for Brighton last season.
Pearson's other marquee transfers, Matthew Upson and Marc Albrighton don't make the side, with the Foxes boss happy to trust the players who took his side from the Championship to the Premier League.
Line-ups:
Leicester: Schmeichel, De Laet, Morgan, Moore, Konchesky, Knockaert, Drinkwater, King, Mahrez, Ulloa, Nugent
Everton: Howard, Baines, Jagielka, McGeady, Lukaku, Naismith, Distin, McCarthy, Barry, Pienaar, Stones.
