Match Of The 23rd Round Of The Premier League Between Everton And Leeds United Will Take Place On 26 january At Hill Dickinson Stadium In Liverpool. Everton Vs Leeds United: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
Everton
Everton surprised in the last round by managing to beat Aston Villa away (1:0). Before that the home side had not been able to win even at its stadium in two consecutive league matches. Overall the home side have only two wins in their last seven Premier League matches (2 draws and 3 defeats). Nevertheless, even after such an unsuccessful run the squad remains in the top half of the table and is challenging for a Champions League place, from which it is only 4 points behind. Also the team's matches remain among the lowest scoring in the Premier League – an average of 2.2 goals are scored.
- No more than two goals were scored in 6 of the home side's last 7 league games.
- At least one team failed to score in 7 of Everton's last 9 Premier League meetings.
- The club did not score in the first half in 7 of its last 10 Premier League matches.
Potential Everton Lineup (4-3-3)*
Jordan Pickford – Nathan Patterson, James Tarkowski, Jake O'Brien, Vitaliy Mykolenko – James Garner, Merlin Riel, Harrison Armstrong – Dwight McNeil, Jack Grealish, Tierno Barry.
Defenders Jarrod Branthwaite and Carlos Alcaraz, forward Jack Grealish, and midfielders Tim Iroegbunam and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall are out with injuries. Defender Michael Keane is suspended for 2 more matches.
Leeds United
Leeds United are in 16th place. Moreover, the side already have a comfortable 7-point gap over the bottom three. That margin was extended thanks to a home win over Fulham in the last round (1:0). The result also ended a four-match winless run in the Premier League (3 draws and 1 defeat). It is also worth adding that the team kept a clean sheet for the fourth time in this campaign.
- The club has avoided defeat in 8 of its last 9 Premier League matches (3 wins and 5 draws).
- Both teams scored in 10 of Leeds United's last 12 league meetings.
- On the road the side have an 8-match winless run in the Premier League (3 draws and 5 defeats).
Potential Leeds United Lineup (3-5-2)*
Karl Darlow – Joe Rodon, James Justin, Pascal Struijk – Ethan Ampadu, Ilia Gruev, Jaden Bogle, Brenden Aaronson, Gabriel Gudmundsson – Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Noah Okafor.
Forward Daniel James and defender Jaka Bijol are injured. Forward Jack Harrison has moved to another club.

Everton Vs Leeds United: Match Prediction
The home side are sorely lacking consistent results. The squad can produce a great performance against a Champions League contender and then in the next match lose to one of the teams in the lower part of the table. There are also problems at the club's new stadium. We will not take a straight win in this game; Leeds United have started to collect points consistently, so we recommend paying attention to a home handicap.
Everton have not won at home in three consecutive Premier League matches. This run has clearly gone on too long and needs to be stopped urgently if the club hopes to fight at least for a Europa League place. Leeds United are strong at home, while on the road they have not won in 8 straight league games. It is also worth noting that the two most recent head-to-head meetings played at Everton's stadium in the Premier League ended in clean-sheet victories for the hosts.
