Leeds vs Everton predictions for this Premier League battle on Saturday at Elland Road. Leeds will be looking to bounce back after their heavy defeat to Manchester United, and to do so they will need to beat an Everton side who have big hopes for this season. Read on for our free predictions and betting tips.
Leeds
Leeds started the season with a heavy 1-5 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford. United were the favourites to win the match, but the margin of their defeat was a tough pill for Leeds to swallow.
Leeds have made the fewest signings of any team in the Premier League so far this season which means the squad is much the same as last season’s. It is likely, therefore, that this season’s team rating will be similar to last season’s.
Everton
Everton started the season with a 3-1 win over Southampton. Following the departure of manager Carlo Ancelotti to Real Madrid, the goal for the new season under Rafa Benítez remains the same; to qualify for the Europa League.
Everton’s new signings include Demarai Gray, Andros Townsend, and the return of Moise Kean after his season on loan at PSG.
Last season Everton were the fourth best-performing away team in the Premier League.
