Everton are back in Premier League action on Monday evening as they play host to Leeds United at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

David Moyes will have many of his key players back, as Idrissa Gana Gueye and Iliman Ndiaye will be back from winning the AFCON with Senegal.

Jarrad Branthwaite is also back in light training, so he should be back in the matchday squads over the next couple of weeks.

Everton suffered a 1-0 defeat in the reverse fixture with Leeds United, so they’ll be keen to get revenge in this one.

With that said, the Opta supercomputer has just made its prediction.

Supercomputer predicts Everton vs Leeds United

Everton are currently residing 10th in the Premier League, whilst Leeds sit seven points behind them in 16th.

The newly-promoted Premier League side have actually been in relatively decent form, as they’ve only suffered one defeat in their last nine games.

But, despite that, the supercomputer has the Toffees as the clear winners in this one, with a home win 52.4% likely.

Leeds have only been given a 23.3% chance of beating Moyes’ side at the Hill Dickinson, with a draw listed at 24.3%.

The Toffees have won their last two home games against the Whites, so there is good reason to be confident on Monday.

Plus, Moyes’ side are just coming off the back of a 1-0 win against high-flying Aston Villa, so confidence is high around the camp at Finch Farm.

Victory could see them move into a European spot.
