Why We’re Backing Jack Grealish to Score Anytime @ 11/2 with Sky Bet
- Getting Jack Grealish on loan from Manchester City looks a shrewd bit of business from Moyes.
- Grealish, still just 29, fell out of favour with Pep Guardiola after Manchester City’s treble-winning season of 2023/24 in which he was a very positive contributor.
- He was largely cast aside at City last season but may have a role front and centre with Everton. He scored 14 goals in two Premier League seasons as an Aston Villa player and has previously managed a goal and four assists in nine appearances against Leeds.
- Moyes helped Jesse Lingard revive his career in a loan spell at West Ham and the coach believes there could be something similar in the offing for Grealish, with creativity the plan.
- “My aim is to get Jack in a creative position where he can score and assist goals,” said Moyes in the pre-game press conference. Grealish could make his competitive Toffees bow with a goal.

Why We’re Backing Everton to Win & BTTS @ 6/1 with Bet365
- Everton haven’t lost any of their last five meetings with Leeds and the Toffees can continue their recent dominance in West Yorkshire on the opening Monday Night Football offering of the season.
- David Moyes’ side finished off last season in great spirits. They won their final three Premier League games and have the chance for a protracted fourth successive league win, something the Blues haven’t managed since Moyes’ first spell as boss.
- Two of Everton’s final three wins came on the road – at Fulham and Champions League qualifiers Newcastle – while they also won at Nottingham Forest in April.
- All told, Leeds have managed only one win in their last 11 Premier League tussles with the Toffees.
- Goals have flowed in Leeds’s curtain-raisers, with an average of 4.9 per game in their last eight league openers. Everton may need to hit the net more than once to get the win.

Leeds United Form/Stats
- Leeds have won just one of the last 11 Premier League meetings.
- Leeds’s last eight season-openers have produced 39 goals in total.
- Leeds have conceded at least twice in eight of their last nine Premier League games.
Everton Form/Stats
- Everton haven’t lost any of their last five meetings with Leeds.
- Jack Grealish has a goal and four assists in nine games against Leeds.
Player to Watch
All eyes will be on Jack Grealish as he bids to resurrect his career in a season-long loan move from Man City to Everton.
David Moyes has form with this scenario. Jesse Lingard nailed nine goals and five assists in just 16 appearances for West Ham after falling out of favour at Manchester United. Moyes referenced Lingard’s experience when talking about Grealish in the run-up to this game, while suggesting he needs to get the England international ‘enough game time’ to impress Thomas Tuchel with the World Cup looming next summer.
