Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Leeds United and Everton take on each other at Elland Road in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Wednesday’s program. The Whites aim to build on back-to-back wins over Newcastle United and Leicester City, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be in-form midfielder Raphinha, while Berardi, Forshaw, Koch, and Llorente remain in the recovery room.
The Toffees, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Newcastle United, and it is no wonder the odds for home win have been dropping. James Rodriguez has been struggling to find his best form of late, which is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on Marcelo Bielsa’s troops. The likes of Gbamin, Nkounkou, Allan, and Delph are all out of contention with injuries for the visitors.

Kalvin Phillips started his youth career at Wortley Juniors, but he has been playing for Leeds United ever since he joined the Elland Road outfit at the age of 15. The 177-cm-tall midfielder has established himself as a first-team regular at Leeds, but he has yet to make his debut for the England national team.
Born in Leeds on December 2, 1995 Kalvin Phillips is a right-footed footballer whose main position is defensive midfield. However, he is used as a central midfielder as well. The English footballer scored his first ever goal for the Whites in a 2-1 loss to Cardiff City on April 11, 2015.
Kalvin Phillips made his debut for Leeds United against Wolverhampton on April 6, 2015. Nicknamed “Yorkshire Pirlo”, Phillips is known for his sharp passes and long ball distribution. He covers his defensive duties in style as well.

Everton are one of the two Merseyside giants that were formed back in 1878, with the club holding a long-standing rivalry with Liverpool. Everton have participated in the English top flight for a record 113 seasons, with the team competing in the English second tier in just four campaigns.
The Toffees play their home matches at Goodison Park, the stadium that was opened in 1892. Everton have won the national championship nine times, with the team winning their last domestic trophy back in 1987.
The Toffees have clinched five FA Cup trophies as well and it has to be noted that a victory over Manchester United in the 1994/1995 FA Cup final helped the team win their last title in the prestigious competition. Everton and Liverpool face each other in the Merseyside derby and the clash between the two local rivals has been called the Merseyside derby since 1955.
In the 2015/2016 Premier League campaign Everton were hammered by Liverpool (0-4) at Anfield.
