Leeds v Everton: Toffees wont come unstuck at Leeds

Everton have been in imperious form so far this season
David Moyes' buoyant Everton side travel to Leeds with the bit firmly between their teeth after a blistering start to their campaign...

Although both these sides recorded league victories in their respective divisions at the weekend, the nature of their triumphs bore stark contrast.
While an animated Neil Warnock bit his fingernails at Elland Road as Nottingham Forest pressed hard for the equaliser, David Moyes' Everton side had calmly stroked it
around as the clock wound down in their game a few hours earlier safe in the knowledge that all three points were in the basket before the half-time whistle.
Everton's emphatic win in Wales has thrust the Merseysiders into a lofty third position in the Premier League, whereas the Yorkshire club's third win sees them lying 12th in the Championship after garnering ten points from seven games.
Apart from a blip at the Hawthorns, Everton have started this season with incredible purpose, culminating in Saturday's 3-0 mauling of Swansea at the Liberty Stadium.
They look like a team who are really enjoying themselves, with players such as Marouane Fellaini, Steven Pienaar and Leighton Baines showing outstanding form from the first kick of the season.
The Belgian in particular has raised his game to astronomical levels - even if a little liberal interpretation of the rules was required to set up Everton's opener against the Swans.
Unfortunately for Leeds fans, Everton are also taking this competition seriously this year, Moyes fielding a very strong team for the Toffees second round hiding of Leyton Orient.
Given Everton's stunning performance against Swansea, it's difficult to see anything other than a win for them here. Leeds will certainly be no pushovers in front of their vociferous home support, but the gap in quality should be telling.
The home side's form is patchy at best. Before Saturday's win, they had gone three games without tasting victory, losing two of those as well.
Everton's intentions in this competition have already been outlined by Moyes' initial team selection and they won't want to fall at this early stage, so will give it everything.
Everton Total Goals
Everton's exciting brand of football has seen them rack up the goals this season, with the Toffees managing to notch at least two in four out of their six games to date.
Their hosts have also conceded an average of over two goals per game over the last four matches which should mean the Toffees can find a way past their defence more than once.
Best Bet: Back Everton to beat Leeds @ 1.845/6
Other Recommended Bet: Back Everton to score two or more goals @ 1.9310/11
