Leeds United have only won one of their last 11 Premier League meetings with Everton (D4 L6), and are winless in each of the most recent five (D2 L3).

Everton are unbeaten in their last five Premier League away games against Leeds United (W2 D3), which is their joint-longest active run away to any of the other 19 current top-flight teams (also five v Brighton and Nottingham Forest).

This is the first time Leeds are starting a league campaign with a game on a Monday in their history. Meanwhile, it’s the first time Everton are starting with a Monday game since 2012-13, beating eventual champions Manchester United 1-0 under David Moyes.

Leeds United’s last eight opening league games have produced a total of 39 goals (almost 5 per game), with the Whites scoring 20 and conceding 19.

Everton have lost their opening league match in each of the last three seasons, having been unbeaten on MD1 in the 10 previous campaigns (W4 D6).

Leeds have lost just one of their last 28 league games (W19 D8), winning the last six in a row. However, they failed to win any of their last nine as a Premier League side (D2 L7), conceding 29 goals in that run.

Everton won their final three league games of 2024-25. They last won four in a row in December 2023 under Sean Dyche, while they last did so under David Moyes in March 2008.

The only previous meeting between Leeds boss Daniel Farke and Everton’s David Moyes came in the 2019-20 Premier League season – Moyes’ West Ham won 4-0 away to Farke’s Norwich that day, which remains the Scotsman’s joint-biggest margin of victory in a top-flight away game.

This will be Daniel Farke’s 50th Premier League match, and first in charge of current club Leeds. He’s won just six of his 49 so far, and even with a victory against Everton would have the lowest win rate of any manager to oversee 50+ games in the competition (currently 12.2%).

Everton boss David Moyes has won seven of his 10 Premier League games against Leeds (D2 L1). Of sides he’s faced at least 10 times, only against Sunderland (71%) does he have a higher win rate than against the Whites (70%).
