Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti is confident James Rodriguez is happy on Merseyside.

Ancelotti confirmed that Calvert-Lewin and Allan are fit enough to start and claimed suggestions that Colombian forward James is homesick are not true.

"He is ok," said the Italian.

"No problem. I talk to him every day.

"He is happy and confident. He had a little problem in his calf but now he is in good condition.

"He really feels good here because everybody takes care of him. There are only things about the weather and we know it's not the best here. But there are a lot of good things about this area.

"It is important to have all the squad available. To have Allan back is really important for us. The consistency of the team will improve now that he is back."
