Premier League teams compete for relegation: Eland Road smoke rises again

Tonight, Elland Road Stadium will usher in a gunpowder-the newly promoted Leeds United faces Everton, who is deeply trapped in a series of losses at home. The two teams are in a roller coaster in recent times: Leeds United is moving forward with the rush of the Championship, while Everton's relegation alarm has sounded.

The Premier League declaration of the newly promoted team

Leeds United, which has returned to the Premier League, is not here to be a squad. The Elland Road Stadium, which has been expanded to 56,500 people, will become a yellow ocean tonight. This "crazy Bielsa" once fought in the holy place, now shows a more pragmatic British style under the leadership of the new coach. In their past five games, 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, they are like the precise Swiss army knife - when they defend, all players retreated to a 5-4-1 iron barrel, and when they counterattacked, winger Harry Gray's speed was comparable to that of a high-speed train. The 18-year-old England player has proved that he is Yorkshire's new darling with three assists. However, the center position is still a hidden danger. The success rate of Dutch high center forward Piro at 1.85 meters is only 42%. Facing Everton's "power pole" central defender combination may be defeated. The

Toffees' life and death speed

Everton coach's seat is now more gloomy than Merseyside's weather. During their three-game losing streak, they lost 8 goals, and the defense line was like a broken paper lantern - the 38-year-old goalkeeper even made a low-level mistake of saving. The dilemma of only 2 points leading the relegation zone in the standings has caused the club to hold a meeting overnight to discuss changing coaches. The only good news is that the forward core has returned from injury. The shooter who scored 15 goals last season specifically restrained the newly promoted team and averaged 1.5 goals per game against the Championship team last year. But midfield creativity is still a flaw. The team is at the bottom of the Premier League for key passes, and it is like a rusty tractor when organizing offense.

Key Confrontation: The Flank Meat Grinders Battle

Leeds United left winger Joseph and Everton right defender Coleman are a textbook case. The 19-year-old Spanish teenager Joseph has made 11 successful passes this season, while the 35-year-old Irish veteran Coleman is as experienced as a piece of hob. However, the latter can only support 60 minutes of physical fitness, and sitting on the bench is a rookie who was once played with by Joseph in the youth team - this substitution point may become the winner.

Data does not lie

Toffees have been unbeaten when they visit Elland Road in the last 5 times, but now things change. Leeds United's home winning rate soared to 68%, while Everton was like sleepwalking away. His 11% winning rate and a defense that averaged 2 goals per game were a real boy who gave up points. It is worth noting that the two teams have scored more than 3 goals in the last three matches, and tonight may be another goalkeeper's night.

When the youth storm of the newly promoted team hit the old bones of the relegation team, the winner and loser of this game may be in the mentality - Leeds United fans are already singing "We are the dark horses of the Premier League", while Everton's bench is the fierce quarrel from the coaching staff. The sound of Elland Road Stadium may overturn the renovated and expanded ceiling when the referee's whistle sounds.
