Chris Sutton has predicted on BBC Sport that Everton and Leeds United will share the spoils at Goodison Park this weekend.

Everton and Leeds will face each other at Goodison Park in the Premier League on Saturday.

Both the Toffees and the Whites are in danger of getting relegated to the Championship at the end of the season.

Former Chelsea striker and BBC Sport pundit Sutton believes that the match will end in a 1-1 draw.

Sutton wrote: “This is a very hard one to call. Leeds still don’t have a new manager, but they do have some talented attacking players.

“One day, things will really click for them and they will take their opportunities – but they have already been waiting a while for that to happen, because they have not won a league game since Bonfire Night.

“Everton were unlucky with the way they conceded their first goal against Liverpool on Monday, just seconds after hitting the post, but they didn’t have enough up front without Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

“Calvert-Lewin won’t be fit for this game either so I think Everton are going to need some help from their fans if they are going to get anything out of it – Goodison Park is going to have to play its part.

“Everton are probably looking at the table and thinking they can stay up by winning their home games. Well, this is their opportunity and I am not convinced they will be able to take it.”

Who will win?

In our view, the match between Everton and Leeds United at Goodison Park in the Premier League this weekend will end in a draw.

Now, the Toffees may have won against Arsenal, but results have not been great for Sean Dyche’s side since then.

And yes, Everton are at home, but that is unlikely to affect the Leeds players too much.

Leeds are without a permanent manager now, but they still do have a good set of players who will know that even a point on Merseyside will be a positive.

The West Yorkshire club are not getting positive results even though they are playing relatively well, and their encouraging displays against Manchester United last week showed that they still can escape the dreaded drop to the Championship at the end of the season.
