Leeds vs Everton match review, 2:00 a.m. August 19: Newcomer with capital

VHO - Commentary on the match Leeds vs Everton, round 1 of the Premier League, the home team at Elland Road is expected not to leave empty-handed in the opening match.

Leeds vs Everton form

After two seasons away from the Premier League, Leeds are back. The Elland Road team would have been in the most prestigious competition in the foggy island since last season if they had not experienced an unbelievable loss of breath at the finish line of the 2023/24 Championship.

But that doesn't matter anymore. Now is the time for the Yorkshire pride to prepare carefully for the goal of staying in the Premier League. Because life for new recruits to the Premier League is always harsh.

The miserable situation of Ipswich, Southampton and Leicester City last season became the most vivid proof. Without the right steps, Leeds could easily fall into the fierce spiral at the bottom of the table.

Overall, the Elland Road team's preparations are showing positive signs. Up to now, Leeds have only spent a total of more than 70 million pounds on the transfer market, a rather modest figure compared to the other two new recruits.

However, among the 10 new faces arriving at Elland Road, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Sean Longstaff, Anton Stach, Lukas Nmecha and Gabriel Gudmundsson still bring a lot of expectations. In the past 3 friendly matches this summer, Leeds have successively achieved positive results.

Holding Man United to a draw, sharing points with two other strong opponents, Villarreal (1-1) and AC Milan (1-1), coach Daniel Farke and his team clearly have some confidence heading to the starting line. The home team's goal must certainly be 3 points in the opening match.

Leeds face a thorny relegation challenge

Everton are considered a very suitable opponent for Leeds' ambition to win "face-washing". The away team is not in good form before the season. After a total of 6 friendly matches, The Toffees have not known the taste of victory, only drawing 2 and losing 4.

Explaining the team's poor results, coach David Moyes said that the new players have not yet integrated well and need more time to create harmony between the lines. However, Everton still traveled to Yorkshire with a lot of optimism.

In the last 11 matches against Leeds in the Premier League, the away team has only lost 1. In addition, in the last 3 visits to Elland Road, the Liverpool team has been unbeaten, earning 2 draws and 1 win.

The match against Everton will mark Daniel Farke's 50th Premier League match in charge. Previously, the German strategist had only brought home 6 victories (12.2%), becoming the coach with the lowest winning rate after 50 matches in the top flight of the foggy country.
