Predicted Leeds XI vs Everton: Bielsa to make just one change; 22-year-old dropped

Leeds United will welcome Everton in front of fans at Elland Road on Saturday. The Whites will be looking to bounce back to winning ways after suffering a humiliating 5-1 defeat against Manchester United at Old Trafford in their opening game last week. Leeds made it way too easy for the Red Devils to dominate, especially in midfield, despite restoring parity after the break. The one defeat will not make any difference to Leeds’ season, while it is also well-known that Marcelo Bielsa’s side will continue to play in the same way. With Spanish defender Diego Llorente still not available, it’s time for Bielsa to ditch the plan of using Robin Koch in midfield. Kalvin Phillips is set to return to the starting line-up, while Koch is expected to partner Liam Cooper at the back. The return of Phill...

Rangers chief Steven Gerrard will surely have a lot to say about that, however. The Gers boss raved about Kent when speaking to the Herald: “Ryan has all the tools and the ability and talent to get to a different level. People judge Ryan on goals and assists and, of course, we do to a certain degree but we also judge him on his application on a daily basis.
