Leeds vs Everton prediction, best bets & predicted line-ups
Leeds play their first match back in the Premier League on Monday when they host Everton at Elland Road, and will be desperate to get off to a winning start (8pm, Sky Sports Main Event). The Whites were promoted back to the top flight with an impressive tally of 100 points, but they are certain to find life a lot tougher this season. Daniel Farke's side are among the favourites for relegation, according to the Premier League odds, along with the other two newly promoted sides of Sunderland and Burnley. Betting sites give the Whites the best chance of staying up of that trio, with 7/5 available on the Yorkshire side to go back down. The Toffees are 17/2 for the drop on football betting sites, but having been steered to safety by David Moyes upon his return to Merseyside, they'll be hoping to build on their finish of 13th. Everton could start the season off by going up against a familiar face with former Toffees striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin poised to move to Elland Road as part of Leeds' summer recruitment drive that has also seen them sign Sean Longstaff from Newcastle, who has joined for £12m. The 28-year-old ended his nine-year stay at Everton in June and is available on a free transfer. He's set to undergo a medical and could be involved in some capacity. Everton have also been busy with six new players coming in, including Jack Grealish on a season-long loan from Manchester City and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Chelsea, who signed a five-year contract. Everton are unbeaten in their last five matches against Leeds, dating back to November 2020 when Raphinha scored the only goal in a 1-0 win for Leeds at Goodison Park. The last two meetings at Elland Road have ended all square, with a 1-1 draw in August 2022. One year earlier, the match ended 2-2 when Leeds twice came from behind to earn a point. Leeds are marginal favourites for the win on betting apps, but bookmakers are clearly struggling to separate this pair based on the current football odds for the game. And there may not be much between these sides on the pitch at Elland Road. Moyes made his team a tough nut to crack after returning to Everton midway through last season and they should avoid defeat here. The Toffees have improved their attacking options during the summer with the signings of Grealish, Dewsbury-Hall and Thierno Barry so should have the firepower to get on the scoresheet. Leeds' opening fixtures have a tendency to produce a lot of goals and with Farke's side having lost just one of their last 28 league matches, these two could serve up an entertaining draw. Grealish to make the difference There was plenty of speculation surrounding the future of Grealish when it became apparent his future lay away from the Etihad. Everton were the first to take action, and Moyes got his man. His experience of winning, as well as his quality, will certainly help the Toffees. The England star cost £100m when he joined City in August 2021 and he made more than 150 appearances for the club - winning three Premier League titles, the Champions League and the FA Cup. He made no secret of his disappointment at the number of games he played last season, particularly in the Premier League, so he will relish the chance to play regularly at Everton. He has played Leeds nine times in his career; winning four, drawing three and losing just twice. He has also scored one and assisted with a further four goals against the Yorkshire side. His only goal came in a 7-0 win for City back in 2021 and Premier League betting sites are offering 12/1 on him scoring first on Monday and 21/4 on him scoring at any time. He will definitely feel like he has a point to prove, especially with the World Cup coming up next summer and we're backing him to make an instant impact for his new side.

Financially stricken former EFL side are SAVED from going bust - as takeover is approved by governing body
The National League has approved the takeover of turmoiled Morecambe, with the Shrimps cleared to start their season next weekend should the sale go through. A group known as Panjab Warriors struck a deal to save the beleaguered Lancashire club, which was relegated from League Two last season. Amid grave concerns over their existence, Morecambe had their first three matches postponed thanks to an inability to meet financial obligations. However, National League officials say they have now given the green light to the takeover and that their suspension of the club will be lifted upon receipt of the sale and purchase agreement. A transfer embargo will remain in place until HMRC and other creditors including staff and players have been paid. The statement added: 'It is the intention for Morecambe's first National League game to be on Saturday 23rd August at home v Altrincham FC. 'The National League would like to welcome the new owners and to thank everybody involved in helping to secure the future of the Club and reaching this point.' An ongoing saga dominated the summer included Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy writing to Morecambe's controversial owner Jason Whittingham, to urge him to sell. In July it appeared there had been a breakthrough for the 105-year-old club, when Whittingham said he agreed terms with Panjab Warriors, although the takeover failed to materialise. Both sides subsequently agreed to a mediation session last week. Morecambe had ceased operations in late July, following their suspension by the National League.
