Jeff Stelling predicts result of Leeds United clash v Everton
Jeff Stelling has backed Leeds United to pick up all three points in their Premier League clash with Everton on Saturday.
The Whites travel to Goodison Park tomorrow (12 February), looking to back up the point picked up at Villa Park in midweek.
Stelling insisted Leeds looked dangerous at Aston Villa with Dan James leading the line and backed them to transform that into a 2-1 win.
Writing for Sky Sports’ Super 6, Stelling shared why he expects the Whites to pick up all three points in Merseyside.
“Frank Lampard and Leeds United meet again, this time at Goodison Park and with Frank as the Everton boss.
“Leeds looked dangerous at Aston Villa, and Dan James could have had a hat-trick on the night, so will cause some problems for the Everton backline. It is a must-win for the hosts, who have lost four successive Premier League matches, but I think they will taste another defeat in this one.”
Dangerous.
This is going to be a real showdown between two sides not wanting to be sat where they currently are in the Premier League.
Leeds will stay ahead of the Toffees regardless of the result given the four-point gap, but another win would catapult them even further away.
Marcelo Bielsa will be desperate for that to happen ahead of the games with Manchester United, Liverpool and Spurs next week.
Everton were shocking against Newcastle in midweek, giving the ball away repeatedly, something that the Whites will look to capitalise on.
There is no one better than the Whites at winning back possession, so that pressure must be applied from minute one.
Stelling has predicted a win, fingers crossed that happens.
