Leeds vs Everton preview: Free betting tips, odds and predictions for Premier League
PROMOTED Leeds and Everton wrap up the opening round of Premier League fixtures with a Monday night clash at Elland Road. SunSport betting experts have previewed the contest and selected the best bets, tips and exclusive sign-up bonuses from our leading betting partners. Find The Sun's betting publishing principles here Leeds vs Everton preview Leeds' two-year Premier League absence is finally over as they welcome David Moyes' Everton to Elland Road for Monday night's top-flight clash. It's the first time in club history that Leeds are starting a league campaign with a Monday fixture - and they'll be hoping this new experience sparks a change in fortunes against the Toffees. Leeds have managed just one win in their last 11 Premier League meetings with Everton (D4 L6) and are winless in the last five. Meanwhile, the Toffees are unbeaten in their last five Premier League trips to Elland Road - their joint-longest active unbeaten away run against any current top-flight side. But Leeds arrive in form, of sorts, having lost just one of their last 28 Championship league games (W19 D8), winning the last six in a row. They've also bolstered their squad with the arrivals of Anton Stach, Jaka Bijol, Lucas Perri, Sean Longstaff, and Gabriel Gudmundsson - not to mention former Toffee Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who joined on a free transfer. Leeds stormed to the Championship title with 100 points on the final day of the campaign, boasting the second-best defensive record in the division, conceding just 30 goals all season. And it looks like that same defensive resilience and organisation will be key again in the top flight. The early signs are positive too - Leeds registered three successive pre-season draws, including 1-1 results against AC Milan and Villarreal, and a goalless stalemate with Manchester United. As for Everton, they head into the new campaign with the wind in their sails after finally completing their long-awaited move to the Hill Dickinson Stadium. They've also been active in the transfer market, bringing in Thierno Barry, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and - most notably - Jack Grealish, who joins on a season-long loan in one of the summer's standout deals. However, not everything has gone to plan. An injury to key centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite is a major blow, and their pre-season form was equally concerning - the Toffees went winless in all six warm-up games, scoring just four goals in total. Leeds vs Everton preview betting tips and predictions Goals? Nope. That might sound negative, especially considering Leeds' last eight opening league games have produced 39 goals. But Leeds - and the other promoted clubs - may struggle for goals in the top flight. Last season's top scorer, Joel Piroe, remains untested at Premier League level, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin has managed just 17 goals across the last four top-flight campaigns. They also scored just two goals across pre-season, and none of those matches saw over 2.5 goals. It's a similar story for Everton, who were blunt in front of goal last season. While they've added attacking reinforcements, it may take time for the likes of Jack Grealish and Thierno Barry to settle. Four goals in seven pre-season games isn't exactly firing on all cylinders. Carded I'm backing Everton defender Jake O'Brien to go into the book at 7/2 on Monday night, using William Hill's enhanced Player Card market. The towering Irishman, 24, is expected to fill in at right-back due to Jarrad Branthwaite's injury - a role where he picked up three of his four Premier League bookings last season. And it could be a tough shift under the lights at Elland Road, with the pace and directness of Daniel James and Wilfried Gnonto sure to keep him busy.

Stray Kitten Found 7 Days Ago, What She Looks Like Now Warms Hearts
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The dramatic rescue and swift recovery of a little stray kitten has captured the hearts of thousands online. In a Reddit post, the kitten's new owner said that, in just seven days, a dirty, matted and struggling feline named Toffee was transformed into a clean, fuller, and visibly healthier cat. Since the photos of Toffee were shared, the post has received more than 67,000 upvotes and over 570 comments. The initial Reddit post featured striking "before" and "after" photos. The "before" picture showed Toffee looking frail, with a matted coat and teary, sticky eyes. The "after" photo, taken just days later, revealed a plush, clean and contented kitten. Stock image: A stray kitten sits by a car. Stock image: A stray kitten sits by a car."Saved this little kitty last week. We decided to call her Toffee," the poster wrote. The transformation sparked an outpouring of emotional responses. "Reading this … made me feel hope—for the kindness in humanity, for the vulnerable creatures being looked after. I haven't felt that in a long time," one person wrote. Another described the visible impact of the rescue: "Dramatic transformation in how she looks, and I bet how she feels—emotions plus how her body and face feel is SO much better now! Big healing glow up of love." The poster later provided more details in response to the numerous comments, crediting her husband and a dedicated vet for Toffee's incredible progress. "Honestly it wasn't me. It was my husband who's extremely compassionate toward cats," the poster shared. The success was also attributed to professional help: "We have a vet next to our place, and Dr. Ahmed (an Egyptian vet in Saudi) does the magic. We're so grateful to him." The poster clarified the timeline of Toffee's dramatic recovery: "She was taken to the vet and had to stay there for five days. When we got her back, my husband gave her a shower the next day, hence the after picture looks so healthy." Before her rescue, Toffee was clearly struggling with health issues. The poster said that the cat has allergies from dust, which makes her eyes teary and sticky, and also she experiences wheezing and sneezing because of it. Toffee has been prescribed some antihistamine for cats and is now doing "a lot better." Despite her rough start, Toffee's sweet nature quickly shone through. "She's so so well behaved," the poster shared. "And all she wants is to be petted and cuddled." The change in Toffee's appearance and demeanor ultimately convinced her new family to make the adoption permanent. "When I saw I was so overwhelmed by the transformation that I insisted we should keep her! And now she's here with us!" Newsweek reached out to u/solarisandocean for comment via Reddit.

Couple Gives Paraplegic Cat a New Life After She Is Run Over and Left to Die (Exclusive)
Nadine Alliye and her partner adopted Toffee the cat after a rescue found her in the streets of Dubai Toffee now lives a good life with Alliye in Canada Alliye frequently shares videos of Toffee running away from her on her TikTok, where they often go viralToffee the cat was run over by a car and left to die. Her spine was crushed, and she lost the use of her hind legs. She was living on the street until she was rescued by Animals and Me, an organization in the United Arab Emirates. Nadine Alliye and her partner were living in Dubai at the time, and knew that adopting Toffee was going to be a full-time job, so they agreed to foster her and another cat, Bliss. Within 24 hours of fostering, they decided to adopt both cats and expedite the process. Alliye talks to PEOPLE exclusively about Toffee's condition and how she became a viral sensation. 'When we first had Toffee in the airport, everyone was so sad to see a paraplegic cat. When we take her out in public, people are so sad," Alliye says. "But, she's the happiest cat," she insists. "I've had pets my whole life. She is the one that gives me the most trouble, is the most playful, tries to run away all the time. I want to switch up the sadness.' Alliye notes that Toffee does not feel any pain due to her injury. Still, she says a lot of people can't fathom the fact that she has a happy life. 'We took her to a vet and the vet told me, 'Oh, you really should have put her down. I know she's not in any pain, but this is messed up,'" she recalled. "And I thought, 'Are you serious? You don't live with her.' I live with her. She doesn't sleep. All she wants to do is play.' Alliye, who has since moved to Canada, started sharing videos of Toffee on her TikTok account for "fun." 'It's about showing off living with her and seeing the crazy stuff she does every day," she explains. "It feels shameful not to share that with people all over the world.' Despite her injury, Toffee is extremely hyper, often running through tunnels set up by Alliye in the apartment. "She has cat tunnels that I bought for her, and I'll set them up like puzzle pieces over the apartment, and then she will run inside and hide from me, and then I'll hide behind the door,' Alliye shares. 'She'll peek her head out and then she'll come out and then as soon as I run after her, she runs inside of her little playpen." Alliye also gives her 30 to 40 minutes of designated outdoor time, where she takes all precautions to ensure Toffee doesn't run away or hide. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. One time, the couple lost Toffee at Alliye's partner's mom's house, which sits on farmland. Toffee slipped out of her collar and hid from them. After 40 minutes of looking, they found her in a pen with the chickens. 'She's really buff on her upper top now because she's always climbing the plants in the house and she's always climbing the couches, so she is ripped," Alliye explains, noting that her strength helps her move at a surprisingly fast pace. In addition to play, Toffee requires a lot of attention. Alliye and her partner have had Toffee for a year, and it took them around six months to figure out the best care plan. Toffee wears diapers and needs assistance using the bathroom each morning and night. However, she gets diaper-free time before Alliye goes to work. People online suggested that Toffee should get a wheelchair, but Alliye says the attempt was unsuccessful. Despite needing a bit of extra care, Alliye says adopting Toffee and her sister, Bliss, has completely changed their lives for the better. She hopes to continue sharing Toffee's story of resilience online. 'I just want to share with people that this is the happiest cat I've ever met in my life, and she's not in any pain.'
