Jeff Stelling and Chris Kamara deliver score predictions ahead of Leeds United showdown vs Everton
The Whites started their campaign off with a 5-1 defeat against bitter rivals Manchester United, while Rafa Benitez’s men saw off Southampton in a fairly routine 3-1 victory.
But Stelling believes that Marcelo Bielsa’s Whites have what it takes to come away with all three points as Elland Road welcomes back a capacity crowd for the first time since the club were promoted back to the top flight.

Meanwhile, Sky Sports colleagues Chris Kamara and Laura Woods have predicted a sharing of the spoils, with both opting for 1-1 draws.
Only one pundit has backed Leeds to score more than one goal, with Neil Mellor forecasting a 2-1 win for the Whites, spurred on by a vocal home crowd.
He said: "The Premier League has been waiting for a packed out Elland Road, and the players will react to this.

Leeds enjoyed mixed fortunes against Everton last season. The Whites picked up a 1-0 win when the two sides met at Goodison Park last November, with Raphinha scoring the vital goal.
The Toffees edged out Bielsa’s side in the return fixture, however, recording a 2-1 win.
