Leeds v Everton team news: Grealish + Darlow subs, Beto starts

Gameweek 1 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) comes to a head this evening, with Elland Road hosting its first Premier League match since May 2023.

Everton are Leeds United’s visitors tonight, with the game getting underway at 20:00 BST.

**Jayden Bogle** is fit to start for the hosts, having missed the last fortnight or so through injury.

He’s the only change from the final pre-season XI that Daniel Farke sent out, with **Isaac Schmidt** making way.

That means that **Lucas Perri** is between the sticks, with £4.0m FPL goalkeeper **Karl Darlow** only on the bench.

Summer recruits **Sean Longstaff, Lukas Nmecha** and **Sebastiaan Bornauw** are also among the substitutes, with fellow new boy **Dominic Calvert-Lewin** – who only signed on Friday – not in the squad.

Speaking of recent signings, **Jack Grealish** is on the bench for the Toffees.

So too is new striker **Thierno Barry** but **Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall** makes the starting XI following his early-August move from Chelsea.

Beto leads the line for David Moyes’ side, who are missing key defenders **Jarrad Branthwaite** and **Vitalii Mykolenko** through injury.

Two more full-backs, **Nathan Patterson** and **Adam Aznou**, are absent, too.

**Leeds United XI:** Perri, Bogle, Rodon, Struijk, Gudmundsson, Ampadu, Tanaka, Stach, James, Gnonto, Piroe.

_Subs: Darlow, Byram, Longstaff, Aaronson, Harrison, Ramazani, Nmecha, Bornauw and Gruev._

**Everton XI:** Pickford, O’Brien, Keane, Tarkowski, Garner, Dewsbury-Hall, Gana, Iroegbunam, Alcaraz, Beto, Ndiaye.

_Subs: Travers, Tyrer, McNeil, Barry, Chermiti, Grealish, Coleman, Armstrong, Onyango._
