Everton vs Leeds United

Whites face the Toffees at Goodison Park. Leeds United are in Premier League action this weekend as they travel to Merseyside, to play their 23rd match of the ...

Abdoulaye Doucoure, Tom Davies, Fabian Delph, Vitaly Mykolenko and Ben Godfrey are also still likely to be missing for the Toffees this weekend. Leeds have the possibility of extending the gap over their opponents to seven and in doing that, they could move up to 13th spot, depending on results elsewhere. “It’s very difficult to predict what is going to happen in a team or in a game of football. Leeds have began 2022 in a positive fashion, scoring three goals in three out of their four league matches played in this calendar year. Raphinha has slotted in between the post eight times, whilst Gray has five. That run has also seen Lampard’s new club lose four on the bounce since the turn of the year.

Fulltime Thoughts - A total team performance in a match that meant so much. Let's hope this is the new standard, and that it is met consistently.

Then the goalie is sold short and his clearance falls to Rodrigo, and his volley beats the goalie and comes off the the top of the bar! It’s upon the team now to take that added push and rise up above the mire they now find themselves in. The last time the Blues played Leeds was earlier this season at Elland Road, with the game ending 2-2 in an end-to-end thriller, Dominic Calvert Lewin from the spot and Demarai Gray getting the goals. It’s a loud Goodison Park as the fans have heeded the call to bring flags, banners and most importantly, their unconditional support. The air-raid siren preceding Z-Cars was met with its customary full-throated roar and now to the action. Gordon loses the ball and then wins it back and beats his man to put in a great cross, deflected and falls to an unmarked Richarlison, his shot is blocked by the sub Hjelde for a corner. The Blues pass the ball beautifully and Dominic Calvert-Lewin finds him rushing into space, but the youngster scuffed his shot. They’ve lined up in a 3-4-3, with Kenny at left wingback and Iwobi at right wingback. 52’ - Blues in a more classic 4-4-2 now, matching the visitors’ 4-1-4-1 to some extent. 90’ - OH! Delightful vertical cross into the box from Dele, Rondon volley is surely headed into the goal but Meslier with a great save! First James nips into the box but Holgate goes to ground and does very well to cut it out for Pickford to gather. A huge shout-out to the fans as well, who were incredible today.
