Key Factors
Creativity Crisis: Everton lose on-loan star Jack Grealish to a stress fracture; he was the league's top open-play chance creator (38 chances) and Everton's primary assist provider.
The Homecoming Narrative: Former Everton talisman Dominic Calvert-Lewin returns to Merseyside in peak form, leading Leeds with 9 league goals this season.
Stadium Curse: Despite being 10th, Everton have struggled at their new Hill Dickinson Stadium, going winless in their last four home matches (L3 D1) compared to a strong away record.
Injuries & Absentees
Everton is severely depleted in central areas; Jack Grealish is out long-term, and Michael Keane is suspended. Key defenders Jarrad Branthwaite and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall are doubtful, forcing David Moyes to rely on a patched-up backline. Leeds is missing center-back Jaka Bijol and winger Daniel James, while midfield engine Anton Stach is only partially fit after an adductor issue.
