Huge boost expected for start of Leeds United's Premier League return as Whites get big fresh backing
A huge boost is expected for the start of Leeds United’s Premier League return.
Leeds United are getting strong backing for the start of their Premier League return and a big boost is expected for Daniel Farke’s Whites.
Leeds will begin life back in the country’s top flight after a two-year absence with Monday night’s visit of Everton who enjoyed a solid second half to the 2024-25 campaign en route to a 13th-placed finish.
The Toffees have also significantly strengthened their ranks by signing Jack Grealish on a season-long loan from Manchester City yet the bookmakers still expect Farke’s side to begin the new campaign with the huge boost of an opening weekend three-point haul.
Big backing for a newly-promoted team
There’s not a huge difference between the prices of the two sides but Leeds have nevertheless received big backing from the bookies as a newly-promoted team in being made general 6-4 favourites for Monday night’s clash under the Elland Road lights. David Moyes’ visitors can be backed at 2-1 whilst the draw is on offer at 23-10.
In further Whites backing, Joel Piroe has been made favourite to score the game’s first goal at 13-2, just ahead of Toffees pair Thierno Barry and Beto who are both 7s. New Whites forward Lukas Nmecha is next at 15-2 and Grealish can be backed at big odds at 12s.
