-----------------------------
Leeds United head into their first-ever Premier League visit to Hill Dickinson Stadium aiming to complete a historic league double over Everton. The Whites arrive with momentum after a late 1–0 win against Fulham in gameweek 22. Everton are equally confident following a surprise 1–0 victory over Aston Villa away from home.

Team Analysis:
Everton revived their season with a shock 1–0 win away to Aston Villa, climbing back into the top half of the table despite ongoing struggles at home. Leeds United, meanwhile, are enjoying a steady resurgence under Daniel Farke, highlighted by consecutive wins and strong form since switching to a 3-5-2 system. While Leeds remain unreliable on the road, both teams head into the clash with renewed confidence and recent momentum behind them.

Player Situation:
Everton face late fitness decisions on Idrissa Gueye and Iliman Ndiaye after their return from international duty, with several other players also racing to be declared fit amid a growing injury list. Leeds United are dealing with defensive setbacks, as Jaka Bijol is ruled out for weeks while Daniel James remains sidelined, though there is optimism over Gabriel Gudmundsson’s condition. Both sides, however, could receive timely boosts with Anton Stach nearing a comeback and Lukas Nmecha pushing for a starting role.

Result Prediction:
Leeds United have shown flexibility this season, capable of both high-intensity attacking games and disciplined, tight contests, while Everton are best known for their defensive resilience. Everton’s home inconsistencies and Leeds’ struggles on the road make the matchup unpredictable. With both sides carrying contrasting strengths and weaknesses, a draw appears the most likely result.

Predicted Result: Everton 1-1 Leeds United.
