Everton FC vs. Leeds United 11/28/20 - Premier League Picks & Predictions

Everton hosts Leeds United on Saturday and an English Premier League fixture. Everton is in sixth place in the top flight English league at 5-1-3 on 16 points with a goal difference of +3. Everton defeated Fulham 3-2 in its first match back from the international break thanks to the help of Richarlson, who returned from a three match suspension, in which Everton lost each of the three matches conceding seven goals.

Everton has not yet won a Premier League match without Richarlson in the lineup since he joined the club in 2018. The Toffees have had four draws and four losses in the eight matches the Brazilian International has not played. Manager Carlo Ancelotti remains concerned about the backline as Everton has not had a clean sheet since the opening match of the Premier League and Sunday's victory was the sixth consecutive match that the Toffees have conceded two goals.

Leeds United is in 14th place in the top five English league at 3-2-4 on 11 points with a goal difference of -3. Leeds battled to a goalless draw in its first match back from International play with Arsenal last weekend. It was just the second time in nine matches this season in the EPL that Leeds United did not score. Leeds made 25 attempts at goal, but only four were on target and Patrick Bamford, Rodrigo, and Raphinha each hit the crossbar or a post with a shot.

Leeds finally had a clean sheet but they shared the spoils, following consecutive defeats of 4-1 to Leicester City and Crystal Palace. Leeds will be facing an offensive-minded Everton club that has scored 19 goals in league play compared to just nine by Leeds’ most recent opponent Arsenal. Leeds has conceded 17 goals and just West Brom and Fulham have conceded more (both 18).
