Leeds Predicted Lineup:
Meslier; Ayling, Llorente, Struijk, Dallas; Koch, Forshaw; Raphinha, Rodrigo, Harrison; James
Our score predictions: Everton 2-1 Leeds
Known for his attacking tactics, Frank Lampard will put serious work into the team’s offence. Returning Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Alli and van de Beek can pose tremendous threats on the usually shaky Leeds’ defence. However, Bielsa’s men will not shy away from attacking with the likes of Raphinha, Dan James, and Jack Harrison ready to cause trouble in an offence versus offence game.
