MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
Everton have lost just one of their past 10 Premier League games against Leeds, a 1-0 home defeat in November 2020.
That is Leeds United's only victory in their last 15 league visits to Goodison Park.
Leeds have failed to score in 10 of their 14 Premier League matches at Everton.
Everton
Everton have lost 12 of their past 16 matches in all competitions (W2, D2).
Their 1-0 victory against Arsenal on 4 February ended a club Premier League record run of four consecutive home defeats.
They could win back-to-back home league games for the first time since April.
The Toffees have the worst goalscoring record in the division this season, with their 16 goals coming from 10 players. Only Anthony Gordon, Demarai Gray and Dwight McNeil have netted more than once.
They have scored multiple goals in only two of their 22 league games: a 2-1 win at Southampton and 3-0 home victory versus Crystal Palace, both in October.
Sean Dyche has never beaten Leeds United in four previous Premier League meetings while in charge at Burnley. He has defeated all 30 other opponents in the top flight.
Leeds United
Leeds United have only managed two Premier League wins since they defeated Chelsea in August - the fewest of any top-flight team.
If they fail to win at Goodison Park, Leeds' tally of two league victories would be their lowest over a 20-game period since 1947.
The Whites have won just four of their 22 Premier League fixtures in 2022-23, their joint-fewest at this stage of any league campaign. It last happened in 2003-04, when they were relegated from the top flight.
Leeds are winless in nine Premier League games since a 4-3 home victory against Bournemouth on 5 November, equalling the longest winless streak by any Premier League side this season.
They can equal the club Premier League record of 10 winless matches, set from March to August 1997.
The Whites have failed to win any of their past three league fixtures against sides in the relegation zone, drawing two and losing one. They had won 11 of their previous 14 such matches since returning to the Premier League.
One of Leeds' four league wins this season came at Anfield against Liverpool in October. They could win at both Liverpool and Everton in the same league season for the first time since 1932-33.
Only Leicester City have dropped more points from a winning position than the 15 by Leeds this campaign.
There you have it, Leeds not won a game since Bonfire night and both teams fighting the drop not an easy game by any means, personally I think Leeds have been saving the Fireworks for the 2nd half of the season and Skoobs is the man to light the fuse 🎆🎇🧨 0-2 Scoreline with Bill Ayling celebrating his new contract with the opener and Paddy getting back to his Best

Not surprised... we haven't got a league win in 15 weeks, No Rodrigo, no manager, stupid midfield set up effectively playing 3 wingers.
Also we haven't beaten Everton infront of a packed Goodison since 1990 because we only beat them in an empty stadium 1 nil under Bielsa and I think with Forest picking up points and us losing that more or less seals our relegation unfortunately.
The owners dithering before the World Cup and not recognising Marsch was only taking us down has also cost us and as I suspected Dyche will easily get Everton safe at our expense despite the non Bielsa style it works in the Premier league.
Finally the only positive is the likely departure of Radz, Orta and Kinnear who did well initially getting us promoted but I tend to think it was good fortune rather than good governance of the club.
I think the last 2 seasons have shown up the heirarchy's unprofessional, hap hazard and cheapskate attitude culminating in Leeds going backwards to where Radz and Co deserve Leeds to be.
Premier league fans but Championship owners.

Because we've been manager less all year.
Can't play counter attack football and can't break down poor teams.
In other words there's no one in this league we can beat.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sadly, can't argue with that

I think the game was lost in Skoobs presser, where he pretty much allowed the team to take it easy. You could see the lack of energy, focus, and courage. We didn’t just bottle it. We didn’t turn up.

In an interview on LUTV, Paddy said that he thought Skubala was doing a great job – because he made them all feel relaxed! Unbelievable.

Yes sometimes you can be too nice and Leeds players need a man to give them a kick up the backside like Dyche clearly has no problem with.

I don't know the first thing about football management but as Macca says, the players need someone to instil fear and respect. In this game, nice guys usually come last and Skubala is too nice.

I just hope our new manager is someone with the steel and presence to get us promoted next season.
