A 1-0 loss to newly-promoted Leeds United isn’t how most fans would’ve expected Everton to begin the season. The result following the performance at Elland Road on Monday night was a brutal

Everton boss David Moyes said his side's display did not warrant a point, but he did not believe Leeds United should have been awarded a decisive penalty in the final match of the Premier League's opening weekend.

Leeds’ win over Everton was settled by a late penalty that sparked fierce debate, with managers and pundits split on whether the decision was correct.

Leeds starting XI: Perri, Rodon, Struijk, Bogle, Gudmundsson, Ampadu, Tanaka, Stach, James, Gnonto, Piroe. Substitutes: Darlow, Byram, Longstaff, Aaronson, Harrison, Ramazani, Nmecha, Bornauw and Gruev. Jack Grealish starts tonight's game from the bench, whilst Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is named in the starting 11.

Leeds United return to the Premier League after a short absence, opening their 2025-26 season with a visit from Everton to Elland Road.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has swapped Everton for Leeds this summer and could make his Leeds debut tonight against his former club. They have been busy in the transfer market, bringing in the likes of Sean Longstaff, Lucas Perri and Anton Stach.

Looked solid against a rather blunt Everton attack. Definitely needs a little more magic up front. But these are matches to take points from, Leeds must be on the right side of results in matches like this if they are to stay in the division.
