-----------------------------
Everton welcomes Leeds United to Goodison Park in a crucial Premier League relegation six-pointer. With both sides hovering just above the drop zone and separated by only a handful of points, this encounter carries huge weight in the survival battle. Momentum, nerve, and efficiency could prove decisive on Merseyside.

Team Analysis:
Everton have shown signs of recovery under David Moyes, especially away from home, but their form at Goodison Park has been frustratingly inconsistent. Despite that, the Toffees remain difficult to beat on their own turf and will look to build on recent positive performances to pull clear of danger. Leeds United, led by Daniel Farke, have steadied themselves since the turn of the year but continue to struggle on the road, where victories have been hard to come by. While their pressing game and intensity remain strengths, lapses in concentration away from Elland Road have cost them valuable points.

Player Situation:
Everton are still dealing with several absentees. Jack Grealish remains sidelined, while Michael Keane is unavailable, limiting Moyes’ options in defence. There is, however, a boost with Idrissa Gueye and Iliman Ndiaye returning to contention after international duty, adding much-needed energy and balance in midfield. Leeds United will be without key figures such as Jaka Bijol and Daniel James, weakening both their defensive structure and attacking depth. Gabriel Gudmundsson is close to a return and could feature, while responsibility in attack once again falls on their main forwards to convert limited chances.

Result Prediction:
Everton will see this as a prime opportunity to turn home resilience into three vital points, especially against a Leeds side that has struggled badly away from home. Leeds’ intensity should keep the contest competitive, but their injuries and travel woes may tilt the balance. With Goodison Park playing its part, Everton are fancied to edge a tight affair.

Predicted Result: Everton 2-1 Leeds United.
