Carlo Ancelotti’s side had left themselves in firm contention for a top-four spot after a terrific first half of the season. However, the Toffees’ momentum was eradicated in desperate fashion last time out, succumbing to a 2-0 home defeat by beleaguered Newcastle. 

Meanwhile, Leeds come into the fixture in high spirits, having produced a terrific performance to defeat Leicester City last time out. Patrick Bamford was outstanding, scoring once and assisting twice, and now has 11 goals already this season in the top flight. 

Leeds have already extinguished the threat of relegation this season, with 14 points now separating them from 18th-placed Fulham, and Bielsa’s side could quickly climb a remarkably congested league table if they are to continue this strong run.
