Leeds United set their eyes on pulling another upset for an out of form Everton side this weekend in the Premier League. Goodison Park sets to hold the clash scheduled for Saturday with kickoff at 8:30 pm.
The Whites are currently winless in their 13 trips to Goodison Park dating back to 1980. Furthermore, the side has failed to score in eight of their last ten encounters.
Everton head into the clash will be sixth on the table after returning to winning ways in their last time out. Leeds are without a win in their last three encounters and are currently five points worse off than their opponents.
It was turning to be an upset run of form for Carlo Ancelotti with a four-match winless streak. However, the side registered a much-needed win against Fulham last weekend to keep their hopes for a European title race on a check.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin continues to shine while netting his ninth and tenth goal to become the leading goal-scorer in the league. Ancelotti is finding it hard to find the back of the net, which is a far harder task for their opponents.
Leeds United was handed a golden chance to register a win at Emirates last weekend after Nicolas Pepe was shown marching orders after violent conduct. However, over 20 shots aimed at the opponent’s goalpost, it ended with both sides sharing their spoils.
