Paul Merson says he backs Leeds against Everton in their Premier League clash this weekend.
Both sides come into a crucial game, where the winner could distance themselves from the relegation zone. Everton recently appointed Sean Dyche to help them get across the line come the end of the season, while Leeds are yet to replace Jesse Marsch.
“I watched Everton the other night, and they’ve got nothing up front. They’ve got to come and chase this game. I’ve seen them do it twice this season, and they’ve failed on both occasions. This is not a chasing team, and they don’t have the attack to win this game with only one player up front.
“If Everton sit back and work out a set play, they’ll have a chance this weekend. Leeds dominate matches and can’t score goals, but I do see them running over Everton in this game.”
The Whites are away to Everton in the Premier League this weekend.
