While preseason isn't a perfect assessment, Leeds have certainly looked better than Everton. Leeds have managed to secure a few draws against formidable teams like Manchester United and AC Milan. Meanwhile, Everton suffered a defeat against AS Roma and only managed a draw against Manchester United. However, I won't base my analysis on preseason results.

For now, I prefer Leeds as the favorites because they're the home team. In terms of squad depth, both teams actually look similar. However, Everton has a strong history in the Premier League, having somehow managed to avoid relegation every season. Leeds, on the other hand, were only recently promoted. This season, Leeds might be the one to avoid the relegation zone. Let's see how today's match turns out. I'd probably favor Leeds, as the home team usually has a mental advantage.
