The English Premier League curtain rises at Elland Road on Monday night, with both Leeds United and Everton arriving as clubs who have spent the summer reevaluating their identities.
For Daniel Farke’s side, this is a return to top-flight football after two seasons away with an aspiring drive dedicated to ensure survival this campaign.
Led by a data-driven recruitment approach, Leeds have indulged in one of their busiest transfer windows to date.
The signings of Anton Stach and Sean Longstaff provide an increased depth and stature to their midfield, whilst Gabriel Gudmundsson, Jaka Bijol and goalkeeper Lucas Perri aim to add solidity to a team who will need to be defensively sound in their bid for survival.
For Everton, it’s an additional chapter in their ever-lasting rebuild.
After a late-season sprint to the finish, David Moyes will be looking to build on a positive end to last season and try get the club back into the top half.
The arrival of Jack Grealish on loan from Manchester City adds a completely new dimension to this Everton team, adding star power we haven’t seen for a number of years.
The additions of striker Thierno Barry and midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall also show a high level of ambition from the Toffees, who have identified their need for creativity and goals – and addressed it.
Here, EPL Bets writer Ethan Pitts has tipped up a tidy treble for Monday night’s clash.
What are the best bets for Leeds United vs Everton?
Leeds to have the most corners
At Elland Road, Leeds have had the most corners for an astonishing 30 matches in a row.
Despite the Premier League being a completely different level, Leeds will still come out looking to control possession and be on the front-foot – leading to an increased number of corners.
Wilfried Gnonto to have 1+ shot on target
The departure of Manor Solomon means Wilfried Gnonto has been given a chance to start for Leeds coming off his favoured left-wing position.
The Italian comes into this game with three goals in his last three competitive league matches, and also a fantastic pre-season under his belt.
He has gone over this line in his last six starts in front of the Elland Road faithful.
Ethan Ampadu to commit 1+ foul
Ampadu will be operating at the heart of Leeds’ midfield, a position where he is even more foul-prone due to his tendency to fly into challenges.
The Wales international committed two fouls in Leeds’ last pre-season friendly against AC Milan.
He has also committed a foul at Elland Road in his last nine appearances for the club.
