Leeds United return to the Premier League after a dominant Championship campaign, facing Everton at Elland Road on August 18, 2025, in a highly anticipated opener.
Daniel Farke's side, fresh off a 100-point season, aims to avoid the relegation fate of recent promoted teams. Despite a strong pre-season, injuries to defenders Jayden Bogle (hip), Sebastiaan Bornauw (calf), and a suspended Jaka Bijol weaken their backline. Lucas Perri is expected to start in goal, with Joel Piroe leading the attack, supported by Willy Gnonto and Daniel James.

Everton, under David Moyes, seek a top-half finish after a 13th-place season. Jarrad Branthwaite's injury and Vitalii Mykolenko's doubtful status challenge their defense, but new signings like Jack Grealish and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bolster the squad. Beto is likely to start up top, with Grealish in a creative role.
The Leeds boys will be aiming to make a strong start at home this season. The Toffees have some big names in their lineup and have every chance to silence the home side.
Leeds United: Perri; Byram, Rodon, Struijk, Gudmundsson; Ampadu, Stach, Tanaka; James, Piroe, Gnonto.
Everton: Pickford; O'Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, Aznou; Gueye, Dewsbury-Hall; Ndiaye, Alcaraz, Grealish; Beto.
