**Premier League Matchweek 1 Wraps Up: Leeds United Hosts Revitalized Everton**

**LEEDS, ENGLAND** – The English Premier League (EPL) returns with a highly anticipated Matchweek 1 finale as Leeds United welcomes Everton FC to Elland Road on Monday, August 14th, at 3:00 PM ET.

Leeds United, fresh off their EFL Championship title win, make their return to the top flight after a two-season absence. They face an Everton side looking to build on a strong finish to the previous season, where they won their last three matches and climbed to 13th in the table.

The Toffees have bolstered their squad with the loan signing of winger Jack Grealish from Manchester City. The England international brings a wealth of experience and is expected to add attacking firepower to Everton’s lineup.

**Odds and Expert Predictions**

Leeds are currently favored at +130 to win, while Everton are underdogs at +220. A draw is priced at +225, and the over/under for total goals scored is 2.5.

SportsLine expert Martin Green believes Everton’s late-season momentum, coupled with the addition of Grealish, will give them an edge. He points to manager David Moyes’s impact after taking over in January, leading the team to eight wins and seven draws in their final 20 games.

“Even with Leeds spending aggressively this summer, I ultimately expect Everton’s momentum from late last season to pay dividends here,” says Green. He also highlights Grealish’s potential impact, stating, “Grealish will have a point to prove after being jettisoned out of Man City, and he could cause all sorts of problems for Leeds’ defense if he plays anywhere close to his full potential.”

Kickoff is scheduled for 3:00 PM ET. Check local listings or contact your television provider for broadcast details.
