Everton v Leeds: Confirmed line-ups as Calvert-Lewin returns
Former Everton striker returns in Leeds XI
Everton host Leeds on a night where they will look to end their recent poor run of form at the new Hill Dickinson stadium.
After a bright start in their new home the Toffees have picked up just seven points in their last seven home Premier League matches.
David Moyes’ squad has been stretched and they have scored just 24 goals in 22 games so far.
Leeds have had a strong first half of the season back in the Premier League but Daniel Farke’s side have struggled on the road.
Only Burnley (5) and Wolves (3) have fewer away Premier League points in the Premier League this season than Leeds (6 – W1 D3 L7) and only Bournemouth (30) and Burnley (27) have conceded more goals than the Whites (24).
They will hope that Dominic Calvert-Lewin can return to hurt his former side – he starts in attack.
