Leeds United travel to Goodison Park on Saturday to take on Everton in the Premier League (3pm).

The Toffees sit one place and one point below the Whites in the Premier League table, currently occupying the final relegation spot.

Sean Dyche replaced Frank Lampard as Everton boss at the end of January, after a run of 10 games without a win and his side defeated high flying Arsenal, 1-0 in his first match in charge, thanks to a goal from James Tarkowski.

Everton were unable to follow that up though and come into this weekend's game on the back of a 2-0 Merseyside Derby defeat against Liverpool at Anfield last Monday.

Back in August, Leeds and Everton played out a 1-1 draw at Elland Road, with Luis Sinisterra equalising, following Anthony Gordon's opener.

Leeds come into the match looking to turn draws into wins in the Premier League, having had four stalemates since the return to action following the FIFA World Cup.

Michael Skubala and his staff of Paco Gallardo and Chris Armas will be looking to build on two positive performances against Manchester United in the last two games.
