Leeds United meets Everton counterpart. In the fifth round of the English Premier League, today is Tuesday, August 30.
Leeds United go into Tuesday's game against Everton looking to consolidate their place in the top six of the Premier League table.
The Toffees are unbeaten in their last two games at Elland Road but have yet to win a league game in the 2022-23 season.
Match preview
Leeds' performances in the opening weeks have been so good that fans would have trusted their club to end Brighton & Hove Albion's unbeaten run at the weekend.
However, the Yorkshire side was outclassed by their hosts at the Amex Stadium and was lucky to only be beaten 1-0 by a team that could be a top-10 side later in the season.
Jesse Marsch will be keeping an eye on things as seven points from a possible 12 is more than respectable ahead of the double-header with Everton and Brentford.
Expectations at Elland Road have risen, however, as there's no need to worry about the relegation battle this time around.
Leeds have already played three home games in all competitions this season, scoring at least twice in each and scoring eight times in total.
In contrast, Everton has not scored once in five games this season, which is because they are not able to send a striker on the pitch.
That should change now that Neal Maupay has been signed from Brighton & Hove Albion, while Salomon Rondon remains an option and Dominic Calvert-Lewin continues his recovery from a knee injury.
However, other players will need to perform and Everton will be reliant on Demarai Gray and Anthony Gordon to score their goals against Nottingham Forest and Brentford respectively.
The story between Gordon and Chelsea could drag on until the final day of the transfer window, although Frank Lampard insists he has reached a point where a solution must be found, one way or another.
Whether Gordon remains in his squad until January or he has another £50 million available by Thursday's deadline, Lampard needs every tool at his disposal to move Everton away from the relegation zone in the coming weeks.
Team News
Lampard must decide whether to give Maupay, who has yet to make a single appearance at Goodison Park this season, an immediate debut.
The Frenchman is an alternative to Dwight McNeil in the final third, while there could be a change in defense as Mason Holgate picked up an injury at the weekend.
Expensive new signing Amadou Onana, who is slowly getting fit again, was in the starting eleven in both games against Fleetwood Town and Brentford, and Lampard could call up Tom Davies for this game.
Although Marsch was unhappy with Leeds' performance on the south coast, the American is unlikely to make any major changes to his squad.
An unchanged starting lineup is quite possible, even if Luis Sinisterra will play his first game in the Premier League.
Patrick Bamford could be an option after his groin injury, but the striker will be a substitute at best.
- Possible Leeds United starting lineup: Meslier; Kristensen, Koch, Llorente, Struijk; Roca, Adams; James, Aaronson, Harrison; Rodrigo.
- Everton's possible starting lineup: Pickford; Keane, Coady, Tarkowski; Patterson, Davies, Iwobi, Mykolenko; Gordon, Maupay, Gray.
We say: Leeds United 2-0 Everton
Now that they have another striker in their ranks, Everton will be more optimistic about their performance in the final third. Nevertheless, we can not put our money on Leeds in this game, who have already recorded three straight wins at Elland Road this season.
