Leeds United return to the Premier League after a short absence, opening their 2025-26 season with a visit from Everton to Elland Road.

WATCH — Leeds United v Everton
Everton have a new forward of their own in Villarreal export Thierno Barry, who will compete with Beto atop a suddenly-interesting Toffees attack that features Man City loanee Jack Grealish in addition to holdovers Iliman Ndiaye and Dwight McNeil.
Leeds have some intriguing new faces as well, with Wolfsburg transfer Lukas Nmecha and Lyon goalkeeper Lucas Perri joining forces with Newcastle-trained Sean Longstaff and suspended but strong Udinese star Jaka Bijol.
Everton will hope to win early for David Moyes and avoid the early-season holes that have plagued recent seasons. Leeds know a win here would be their best bet for a pre-international break league win, as Arsenal and Newcastle are next.
