Leeds United make their return to the Premier League with the visit of Everton to Elland Road on Monday night.
Daniel Farke led the club to the Championship title last season, and will now hope to do what he could not with Norwich and keep them in the top flight. He has been somewhat backed in the market, with more players still likely to join, including former Toffees striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin on a free transfer.
He has been replaced by Thierno Barry, who is one of several new signings for David Moyes' side this summer, with Jack Grealish by far the most eye-catching.
Both sides will be looking to get off to a good start, and The Sporting News takes you through the latest odds, tips and predictions for what could be a cracking clash.

Leeds vs. Everton team news
- Daniel Farke is set to hand debuts to three of Leeds' summer signings, with keeper Lucas Perri, full-back Gabriel Gudmundsson and former Newcastle man Sean Longstaff all in line to start.
- Everton suffered a big blow right on the eve of the new season with Jarrad Branthwaite going down with a hamstring injury. His length of absence is still unknown.
- Jack Grealish is unlikely to start given his lack of pre-season action, but expect to see him make his Toffees' bow off the bench at some point. Fellow new boys Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Adam Aznou look set to start.
