Everton’s 2025/26 Premier League campaign is finally set to get underway on Monday.
Up against newly promoted Leeds United at Elland Road, it is no doubt going to be a tough task to get a victory, with the atmosphere set to be electric.
Leeds also had a solid pre-season, something that will worry David Moyes coming into the match.
However, the Scotsman will be hoping many of his new signings will be able to make an impact. Particularly, Jack Grealish, who was signed by Everton on Tuesday on loan.
In front of the Sky Sports cameras, a win on the opening game week could do wonders for the Toffees.

Going into the new Premier League season, there remains some pessimism among the Hill Dickinson Stadium faithful despite their new signings.
Jarrad Branthwaite’s recent injury at Everton has only helped to dampen the mood.
Now, according to Opta on 13 August, fans may be right to be cautious.
The supercomputer believes Leeds have a 38.3 per cent chance of coming away with a victory, higher than Everton’s 33.9 per cent.
The odds of a draw sit at 27.8 per cent, making it the least likely of the three scenarios.

While Opta may be predicting a defeat for Everton on Monday, the Toffees do actually have a good recent record against the Yorkshire side.
In their last five meetings, the Merseyside club are unbeaten, winning three of these games.
Everton had traditionally struggled vs Leeds United
In fact, the last time Everton lost to Leeds was back in November 2020, in a 1-0 defeat at Goodison Park.
The Toffees’ record at Elland Road is also impressive, only losing one of their last six visitors.
Therefore, if this trend is to continue, Moyes will have to ensure his side puts in a fantastic performance against the Peacocks.
