Everton vs Leeds Predictions

• Both teams have scored in seven of Everton’s nine Premier League games.
• Leeds have scored in seven of their nine top flight matches
• Everton have scored at least two goals in five of their nine league games.

Everton find their feet again

Everton returned to winning ways last weekend in a 3-2 thriller at Fulham, and while the three points were very welcome that victory wasn’t without its downsides.

The Toffees were exposed a number of times at the back and were fortunate not to concede an equaliser in the end, although nobody can fault their attacking play.

Calvert-Lewin continues to lead the way for Toffees

Dominic Calvert-Lewin was in blistering form once again, netting a brace to take his tally to 13 goals in 11 appearances in all competitions.

Eight of these goals have come at Goodison Park and, with him coming up against a Leeds defence that have shipped the joint third most goals in the league, backing him to find the net again looks excellent value.

Goals on the cards at Goodison Park

Make no mistake, Carlo Ancelotti’s back line will come under attack from Marcelo Bielsa’s Peacocks.

Leeds have scored in seven of their nine Premier League matches this season and have netted more goals than any other team outside the top eight.

They are undoubtedly vulnerable at the back, but going forward they can cause problems and with Everton’s games this season averaged a massive 3.89 goals per game we have a very entertaining match in store.

All things considered, backing both teams to get on the scoresheet is an appealing option and, with Everton scoring at least two goals on five occasions this season, backing them to get the 2-1 win looks the best choice for our correct score prediction.

Everton injuries and team news

Everton were dealt a massive blow on Thursday as reports emerged that star full-back Lucas Digne had suffered an ankle injury in training, potentially ruling him out for two months.

Jean-Phillipe Gbamin and Seamus Coleman are also sidelined, with Alex Iwobi set to deputise for Digne and Jonjoe Kenny to fill in at right back.

Summer signing Rodrigo is nearing a return to the starting lineup but is expected on the bench here as he recovers from COVID-19, while Kalvin Phillips made a return from injury last time out.

Diego Llorente, Pablo Hernandes, Jamie Shackleton and Adam Forshaw are all ruled out though.
