Leeds
Marcelo Bielsa’s team is starting their new season in the Premier League with the bitterness of defeat. Moreover, the sediment from the crushing defeat in Manchester is likely to remain for a long time.

The 1-5 defeat eloquently testifies to the fact that Leeds had big problems with defense at the start of the season.
Everton
The Liverpool-based team had a good start in the new season. Rafael Benitez’s charges played their first match at home against the Southampton team. The guests could not oppose anything to the pressure of the home team. For one goal of the guests, Everton responded with three goals, eventually winning the match with a score of 3-1. With three (full) points gained, it was a good start to the Championship.
