Leeds United hosts Everton in round 22 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 3rd at Elland Road (Leeds)
Under Bielsa, Leeds United managed to return to the Premier League only on the second try. How long have the fans been waiting for this achievement by their favorite team! This season was the first at a similar level for the Argentinean and for many of his charges. By the way, the lineup was strengthened with several intelligent and experienced performers from Europe. However, various mistakes and misfires were inevitable, and not only in the Premier League. In the FA Cup, Leeds managed to suffer a 0-3 defeat from modest Crowley! But in general, the newcomer showed interesting and meaningful football. Among other things, it won both last games and did it on the road. If a 2-1 victory over crisis Newcastle was not particularly surprising, then on Sunday the Peacocks managed to beat Leicester at the King Power Stadium. Bamford became the man of that match - he scored a goal and acted as an assistant twice.

In the current season, the Toffees are rightfully considered as one of those ambitious middle peasants that can create competition for the usual grandees not only in words, but also in deeds. Not so long ago, Carlo Ancelotti even had to deny the desire to compete for the champion’s title in the Premier League. Now the results have noticeably deteriorated. First, the Liverpool club opened the scoring (James delivered a great shot) at Goodison Park and allowed Leicester to pull out a 1-1 draw. But at least Everton did not lose to a competitor. But then there was a frank and unexpected misfire. Perhaps the Toffees simply underestimated Saturday's opponent, Newcastle. But it was not only able to neutralize all the hosts' attempts to open the scoring (by the way, they created few serious threats) but also scored twice in the last 20 minutes - Callum Wilson finally woke up and scored a double. Will Ancelotti's charges finally regain their maximum concentration after such an unpleasant segment?
Curiously, Leeds got on Everton's nerves even after relegation from the Premier League - it beat the Toffees in the cup in 2012. And in the fall, Rafinha's goal allowed the newcomer to win on the road. Leeds is currently in good shape, but it seems that Everton has begun to be underestimated. We think the visitors will at least not lose on Wednesday.
Prediction for the match: Everton to win with +0.5 handicap
