Everton vs Leeds Prediction: Stalemate likely on Merseyside

Monday Night Football comes from Merseyside as Everton welcome Leeds United to the Hill Dickinson Stadium (20:00 kick off, Sky Sports Main Event/Premier League).

Read on for my Everton vs Leeds prediction and betting tips, alongside the latest match odds and team news.

Leeds gained their first win in five with a last-gasp Elland Road win over Fulham last weekend, while the Toffees stunned title contenders Aston Villa in front of the Holte End at Villa Park last time out.

Everton are seven points clear of Leeds going into this contest, but the Toffees have won just one of their last five home league games. They'll hope to double up against a visiting outfit with one away Premier League win all season.

Team News

The Toffees aren't short on injury concerns, with star performers Jack Grealish (foot) and Michael Keane (suspended) ruled out here, though Jarrad Branthwaite (hamstring), Carlos Alcaraz (unspecified) and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (hamstring) have all returned to training.

Idrissa Gueye and Iliman Ndiaye are set for late assessments having return from their AFCON success with Senegal.

Leeds defender Jaka Bijol missed the win over Fulham with a hamstring problem and is expected to be out for another few weeks, joining Daniel James on the sidelines.

Lukas Nmecha got the late winner against Fulham to press his case for a starting berth, while Gabriel Gudmundsson (abductor) faces a late fitness call.

Premier League Odds

Everton vs Leeds United Odds

Everton are favourites at 6/4 on home soil, with Leeds priced at 2/1 to grab just their second away league win of the season. The draw is priced at 11/5.

Both teams to score can be backed at 10/11, while this MNF clash trades at 6/5 to yield over 2.5 goals.

Draw @ 11/5

Leeds are bidding for a first ever Premier League double over Everton when they visit the Hill Dickinson Stadium for the first time but the Whites have a poor record in this fixture, with eight defeats and just one win in their last 16 league visits to the Toffees.

With just one Premier League win on the road, optimism about Daniel Farke's side landing three points isn't high. However, Everton have picked up just seven points in their last seven home Premier League matches and have lost four of those.

Leeds have lost just one of their last nine games, a 4-3 loss at Newcastle when they conceded twice in stoppage time.

David Moyes' side have settled for draws against the likes of Burnley and Wolves in recent weeks and another stalemate could be incoming.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin to score first @ 9/2

Striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored 57 Premier League goals as an Everton player before his summer switch to Elland Road.

The 28-year-old has benefitted from the change of scenery and has helped himself to nine league goals already for his new club, already bettering his seasonal tallies in the top flight in each of his last four seasons at Everton.

His goal at Newcastle earlier this month made it eight in 10 appearances. He didn't find the net against Fulham last week but he might come back to haunt his former employers by breaking the deadlock in this one.
