Everton v Leeds: match preview

Lucas Digne was instrumental in Everton’s return to winning ways at Fulham last weekend but an ankle injury that requires surgery on Monday, and will sideline the France international for up to three months, means Carlo Ancelotti will be without both first choice full-backs with Seamus Coleman also nursing a recurring hamstring problem. Marcelo Bielsa will seek to capitalise on absences that limit Everton in attack and defence. Leeds’ four away games this season have produced 16 goals in total and the first ever meeting between Bielsa and Ancelotti promises to be an open affair. Andy Hunter
