Everton and Leeds Clash Analysis Ahead of Match

Everton have relocated to a new stadium, marking the end of an era at Goodison Park. The team will now play at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, and Leeds United will be the first opponent in the new venue.

Past Meetings

Leeds United has historically struggled against Everton, securing only one victory in their last ten encounters at Goodison Park. That win, in 2020, was fueled by a performance from Raphinha. The Yorkshire-based club hopes for improved results in this new chapter for Everton.

Grealish Injury

Jack Grealish, who has been a significant contributor to Everton’s performance this season, is sidelined due to a foot injury sustained during a match against Aston Villa. Grealish’s recent form, including six assists and two goals in twenty Premier League games, had reportedly attracted the attention of Thomas Tuchel. He is expected to be out of action until April.

Calvert-Lewin’s Return

Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who spent nine years with Everton and scored 71 goals in nearly 300 appearances, transferred to Leeds United in the summer. A fixture against Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium was likely a notable match on his schedule. He missed the earlier match against Everton at Elland Road. Calvert-Lewin has scored nine goals this season and will aim to add to that total against his former club. He had a strong showing in December but has only scored one goal in four league games since the new year.
