Leicester title is the exception and not the rule, says Roberto Martínez via The Guardian

• Everton to give Foxes guard of honour on Saturday
• ’It is a great fairytale story and everyone will congratulate it’
Roberto Martínez has congratulated Leicester City on a “fairytale” title success but claimed it had not exposed the shortcomings of Premier League rivals such as Everton.

Everton visit the Premier League’s new and most unexpected champions on Saturday and will form a guard of honour for Claudio Ranieri’s side when Leicester are presented with the trophy after the game. An exultant King Power Stadium will provide a stark contrast to the mood at Goodison Park, where many supporters are calling for Martínez’s removal in a season where his team of gifted individuals have collected 33 points fewer than Leicester.

Premier League: 10 things to look out for this weekend via The Guardian

Leicester City’s big homecoming, Andy Carroll facing his favourite prey, and Newcastle fans getting a chance to avenge their trip to Villa in 2008-09

Spare a thought this week for Ritchie De Laet, who must feel a little like Michael Collins, the astronaut who accompanied Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the Apollo 11 mission but had to stay in the shuttle while they pranced around the moon. Still, at least Collins got to go to space: De Laet went to Middlesbrough. Then again, if Boro beat or draw with Brighton on Saturday the Belgian will achieve promotion to the Premier League in the same season as he won it, which is a feat that demands respect even if he would no doubt have preferred to have continued playing for Leicester rather than depart on loan in February. De Laet joined Leicester from Manchester United back in 2012 on the same day as Matty James made the same move. James has not played this season due to a serious knee injury but there is a chance that he will be fit enough to feature against Everton – and what a heartening moment his reappearance would be, along with many others scheduled for the King Power on Saturday.
