Everton vs Leeds prediction: How will Premier League fixture play out tonight?
Everton host Leeds in the Premier League on Saturday evening as Carlo Ancelotti’s side look to re-enter the mix at the top of the table.
The Toffees won four straight in the top flight at the start of the season to sit atop the standings before a Merseyside derby draw with Liverpool preceded three losses on the bounce.

Ancelotti’s players stopped the rot with a dramatic 3-2 victory over struggling Fulham last time out, however, and the result put Everton sixth in the table, just four points off top spot.
Meanwhile, Leeds’ three wins, two draws and four defeats mark a respectable return so far in their first season in the Premier League since 2003/04. Marcelo Bielsa will feel his team are capable of more, though, and a trip to Goodison Park on Saturday presents a good opportunity to prove just that.

Prediction
Unfortunately for Leeds fans, this one has a feel around it to suggest that it could play out like a number of their fixtures this season: a spirited and competent performance from Bielsa’s men, but an elusive win. Everton will be hoping for as much, anyway, and that their victory over Fulham last weekend was the catalyst for a return to the form with which they started the campaign. Everton 2-1 Leeds.
