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?
