Everton arrive having recently been bolstered by the loan of Jack Grealish and purchase of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Meanwhile, new Whites recruit Dominic Calvert-Lewin could make the squad. If he gets on, his debut will come against his former club.

Daniel Farke praised his Leeds United players for the way they quickly adapted to their new division to make a winning return to the Premier League.

Jack Grealish has been unable to inspire Everton after going on as a second-half substitute for his debut in a 1-0 loss to promoted Leeds in the Premier League.

It’s in memory of Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva who sadly passed away in a car accident over the summer. Every game in Matchday 1 of the 2025–26 season will be marked with the same rituals: players wearing black armbands, a minute’s silence before kick-off and tribute messages on the screens.

Leeds United marked their return to the Premier League in perfect fashion, beating Everton 1-0 in front of a packed-out Elland Road.

Elland Road is something the Premier League, and all of its clubs, miss whenever Leeds United are absent from the top flight. It is a cauldron of anger and noise, a throwback to the bygone era which has put English football at the centre of the sport’s orbit.

Daniel Farke ’s Leeds will never have the romance of Bielsa’s but a prosaic win qualified as a “really magic night” for a manager who entered his 50th Premier League game with just six wins to his name but who could claim the meagre resources at Norwich accounted for that record.
