If Leeds have ambitions of staying up, the hothouse atmosphere of Elland Road could hold the key, writes Phil McNulty.

Hello and welcome to our coverage of tonight's Premier League clash between Leeds United and Everton at Elland Road.

Lynch’s first trip to Elland Road came in May 2005, when Leeds played out a 0-0 draw in the Championship with Rotherham United. It’s a stadium that has kept him coming back.

Leeds United kicked off their 2025-26 Premier League campaign with a 1-0 win over Everton at Elland Road. Whites boss Daniel Farke told BBC Sport "it was a really magic night" and a "top performance" from his side.

In a highly anticipated opening match at Elland Road, Leeds United's new goalkeeper, Lucas Perri, made his professional debut. This pivotal moment set the stage for an intense clash against Everton, showcasing the fresh talent and strategic line-ups of both teams.

A major road in Leeds is currently blocked following a crash this morning. The crash has happened on the A643 and is causing big problems for traffic. The traffic is bumper-to-bumper from the A58 to the M621 for Junction 2 for Elland Road.

Everton boss David Moyes admitted his side's display did not warrant a point, but did not believe Leeds should have been awarded the penalty that secured the hosts a 1-0 win.
