Leeds United make their Premier League return on Monday night with a home clash against Everton at Elland Road. The Whites are back at the top level after storming to the Championship title with a 100-point campaign under Daniel Farke. They face an immediate test against a side that relegated them two years ago.

Farke’s men head into the season with cautious optimism. Leeds were outstanding in the second tier, losing just once in their final 28 matches, yet memories of their struggles in the 2022-23 top-flight campaign still linger. With promoted sides having gone straight back down in each of the last two Premier League seasons, the spotlight is firmly on whether Leeds can break that trend.

Meanwhile, Everton arrive with confidence as they are unbeaten in their last five meetings with Leeds. Yet David Moyes’ side must shake off a habit of slow starts, they have lost each of their last three league openers and have historically struggled on opening day. As a result, the Toffees will want to reverse that and get off to a good start here.

That could translate into a tight, tactical affair at Elland Road.
