Leeds vs Everton prediction 18.08.2025 | Premier League

Leeds suffered relegation in the 2022/23 season from the English top-flight division but failed to achieve promotion in the following season despite being among the favorites to do so. They ended up in the Playoffs but failed to come out of it. But in the last year, the Whites dominated the Championship, winning an incredible 100 points! 

During the offseason, the club (expectedly) improved the team, and we believe they have done a fine job. That good offseason translated into good results in friendlies as they drew all three games against excellent teams - AC Milan (1:1), Villarreal (1:1), and Manchester United (0:0). 

Interestingly, on 15th August, the club managed to acquire Dominic Calvert-Lewin from their next opponent, Everton, and will have the chance to play against his former club. However, we believe he will get only limited minutes since he arrived just three days before the game.

For four seasons in a row, Everton have finished their season in the lower part of the league's table. Last year, they had their struggles, but did not come near the relegation zone because the bottom three teams (Southampton, Ipswich, and Leicester) were atrocious. The Toffees eventually finished the season in 13th place with 48 points - 17 points away from European spots. 

During the offseason, the club was pretty active, as eight players left the team and five arrived (plus Jack Grealish from MC on a loan deal). Still, it is difficult to say whether they improved the squad or not. Judging only from the results in friendlies, the Toffees will have another challenging season ahead of them.

Also, just before the start of the season, in the last friendly vs Roma, Vitaliy Mykolenko suffered an injury and had to leave the field after only 11 minutes. There is still no news about the seriousness of the injury, but he 26-year-old will most likely miss the season opener because of it.
