Away from the title favourites, the big story of the weekend is Everton’s first competitive game at their brand new 52,769 seater stadium. The club have been waiting not-so-patiently for this moment, after a long and winding road that has involved countless council meetings, proposal documents and fan consultations.

Preview the matchup between Leeds United and Everton FC with predictions, odds, over/under, betting lines and more.

Leeds were promoted as Championship winners last season, while Everton finished 13th in the Premier League. Each club added eight new faces to their respective roster since last season as Leeds looks to maintain status in England’s top flight and Everton looks to at a minimum to crack the Top 10.

Leeds United returns to the Premier League after two seasons in the Championship and will play their first match back in the top flight against Everton. The game will be played at Elland Road, with Daniel Farke leading the team once again.

A fixture that has only ever been fought in the top flight league-wise - alongside a handful of FA Cup and EFL Cup contests - Arsenal and Leeds United have crossed paths on 127 occasions in all tournaments, beginning with their inaugural Division One battle in 1924.

A cross from Dan James was met by Piroe but O’Brien scrambled it away. The first quarter of the match had passed with Everton not getting a touch in the Leeds box. That finally changes in the 29th minute when Alcaraz broke into the box but the Leeds keeper was there to snuff out the chance.

Leeds’ win over Everton was settled by a late penalty that sparked fierce debate, with managers and pundits split on whether the decision was correct.
