Jim White doesn’t see Leeds United losing at Everton, Martin Keown expects ‘Cracker’
Jim White has insisted that he can’t see Leeds United losing against Everton in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
The Whites travel to Merseyside looking to go one better than the 3-3 draw against Aston Villa in midweek (09 February).
White admitted that Frank Lampard’s worst possible opponent at this time could be Marcelo Bielsa as they get set to reunite.
Speaking live on talkSPORT’s White and Jordan this morning (11 February), the host kicked things off confidently.
“Leeds,” he said. “Do you see Leeds losing? Do you see Leeds coming away with anything?
“I don’t see Leeds losing at Goodison.”
Keown responded instantly and admitted that he is expecting a thriller on Merseyside with the Whites in town.
“You never quite know what to expect, they’re the entertainers.
“They score rakes of goals, they concede for fun. There’s that inconsistency, so I think there’s a chance to get after them. It could be a cracker.”
Shock?
Would it be a big shock if Everton were to beat Leeds? We’re not so sure, but it certainly ramps up the pressure.
Missing key players such as Kalvin Phillips and Patrick Bamford, who are guaranteed starts makes it that much harder, but many keep forgetting that.
Everton have their own problems, but they have spent hundreds of millions putting their squad together, much more than we have.
Leeds picking up three points would be a huge result, and it would catapult us up the Premier League table, and away from that bottom three.
White acts as though this is already a foregone conclusion, though, and we just hope that this is much more straightforward than the Villa game.
