Leeds v Everton: Premier League updates
Update: Date: 2025-08-18T17:45:55.000Z Title: Preamble Content: The Premier League is back in town at Elland Road. After two seasons away, Leeds will desperately be hoping they stay longer than a year at the top table. Daniel Farke's plan to try and make that a serious possibility has seen investment over the summer in physical players, ensuring Leeds can cope with what this division has to offer. The most recent man through the door, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, certainly has the capabilities of being an asset, especially because he cost them absolutely nothing. After missing pre-season, it would seem unlikely he will be starting in tonight's opener but we will see if he is called upon off the bench against his former club Everton. Everton supporters were potentially expecting a few more arrivals to add to the positivity surrounding new owners and stadium. It was a bit of a slow burner but Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Jack Grealish seem like smart additions, along with new forward Thierno Barry. The start of recent seasons has been surrounded with questions over whether the team can survive another year in the Premier League but under David Moyes, those fears have dissipated and they are finally looking up. Kick-off: 8pm BST

Leeds United to build one of Premier League's biggest stadiums as stunning plans are revealed
LEEDS UNITED have revealed stunning plans to build one of the Premier League's biggest stadiums. The Whites are a top flight club once again and kick-off their season by hosting Everton at Elland Road. 5 5 5 5 And club chiefs are looking to follow in the example of the Toffees by improving their home ground, with the visitors due to play their first game at the new Hill Dickinson Stadium next weekend. But rather than leaving Elland Road, where the club has played since its formation in 1919, they will look to enhance it. Under the plans, first outlined in September 2024, the club revealed a major increase in its capacity size, jumping from just under 38,000 seats to a total of 53,000. This new size would make the 106-year-old ground the seventh-biggest football stadium in England, narrowly above Everton's new digs. The revealed plans indicated this increase would be facilitated by expanding the capacity of the West Stand by almost 10,000 seats and the North Stand by just under 5,000. There are also plans to allow Elland Road to be able to host national and international football events, as well as non-football events such as concerts. The planning application submitted by the club to Leeds City Council said up to eight non-football events would be held every year.

Leeds vs Everton - Premier League: Live score, team news and updates as the Whites make their return to the top flight with a home clash against the Toffees
What a weekend it's been, eh? One of the main reasons I love the Premier League returning is because we get four days of back-to-back footie, from Friday through Monday. It's pure bliss. We've had three of those days pass us now, and well, it's fair to say it's been a mixed bag. We started with a bang at Anfield, but then it was a bit up and down in terms of entertainment after that, to be honest. Nevertheless, the top flight has still been as frantic as ever. Now, last but not least, we finish the opening weekend at Elland Road as Leeds United mark their return to the Premier League against Everton. If I know one thing about tonight, it's that the atmosphere is going to be electric. When the Leeds players emerge from that tunnel, the noise may be loud enough to register on the Richter scale. OK, that's dramatic, but it's going to be hella loud. I, for one, can not wait for it to get started... let's hope we end this weekend like we started it, with a bang! Right then, shall we get cracking?
