Leeds United vs Everton: Match preview
A proper old-school feeling fixture will have both fans feeling some trepidation as they look to get a sense for how their respective sides might fare this season.
For Leeds, Everton feel like the kind of level of side they will need to beat this season if they want to stay away from danger - but conversely, Everton will expect to get a result against a newly-promoted side, especially after seeing how those coming up from the Championship have fared over the past few years.
49ers and Red Bull-backed Leeds acted quickly to bolster the side that got them promoted last season, primarily looking overseas for their first-team reinforcements.
That includes centre-back Jaka Bijol from Udinese, Wolfsburg pair Lukas Nmecha and Sebastiaan Bornaew, Lille left-back Gabriel Gudmundsson, Hoffenheim's Anton Stach, and Lyon goalkeeper Lucas Perri - a massive relief to Leeds fans tired of the blunder-prone Illan Meslier.
David Moyes has meanwhile made no secret of his feelings about a slower-than-expected transfer window for Everton, saying his side were 'not ready' for the new season - though things have started gathering pace over the past few weeks.
Flamengo playmaker Carlos Alcaraz was secured soon after the end of last season, but they had to wait until July to announce the arrival of 6'5" striker Thierno Barry from Villarreal for a reported �27m, followed by back-up keeper Mark Travers from Bournemouth and left-back Adam Aznou from Bayern Munich.
Everton have since picked up a couple of more recognisable names from the Premier League big boys, with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall joining from Chelsea and - perhaps most excitingly - Jack Grealish getting his escape from Manchester City in a loan move.

FourFourTwo's prediction
Leeds 2-1 Everton
A bold call, but Elland Road will be absolutely bouncing and that could give Daniel Farke's side the decisive edge - especially against an Everton side who are, by their own admission, still a way off from where they want to be with their squad.
