Everton (home)
- Everton have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five matches in all competitions.
- David Moyes has been in charge of Everton since coming to Goodison Park in January 2025, but the Scottish manager has not made his side any easier to watch.
- A pragmatic, defensive setup with a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 system that focuses on discipline, organisation, vertical transitions and wide play has served him well and, over their recent five matches, Everton have been able to squeeze results from an extra dimension.
- Everton are 10th in the Premier League with 32 points from 22 games, a solid mid-table position.
Leeds United (away)
- Leeds United have won one, drawn three and lost one of their last five matches.
- Daniel Farke has been at the helm at Leeds United since July 2023 and has made them a very different team to the one they were before he took charge, favouring a possession-based style of play and pressing from the front, whilst maintaining the wide overloads that Leeds were previously known for.
- Farke’s tactical nous and ability to mix and match his players has seen Leeds remain competitive in all of their recent matches, even when they were up against it.
- A 1-1 draw at home to Manchester United was followed by a 4-3 defeat away to Newcastle, whilst Leeds then beat Fulham 1-0 at Elland Road.
- Leeds are currently 16th in the Premier League table, hovering close to the relegation zone and 7 points behind their next opponents, Everton.
- Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been Leeds’ biggest threat this season, with 9 goals in 20 Premier League appearances in 2025-2026.
Head-to-Head
- Leeds United were 1-0 winners at home to Everton the last time these two sides met in the Premier League five months ago.
- Leeds United have not managed to win their last away game at Goodison Park.
Key Players
- Dominic Calvert-Lewin
- 9 goals in 20 Premier League appearances in 2025-2026.
- Iliman Ndiaye
- 4 goals in 16 league appearances.
Betting Insights
- Odds of 2.46 for Everton, 2.9 for the visitors and 3.15 for the draw.
- Backing Under 2.5 goals at 1.65 looks a smart play, however, given that Everton have conceded 15 goals in 11 home league fixtures this term and that Leeds’ average 1.00 goals scored and 2.18 goals conceded per-game away from Elland Road.
Prediction
Everton are inconsistent but have been in decent form of late, whilst Leeds United have struggled away from home this term, so there is plenty of reason to back the hosts in the double chance market for this one.
