Preview: Leeds United vs. Everton

Leeds United versus Everton was once a regular Premier League fixture.

However, following Leeds's well-documented financial problems and relegations, these two clubs have not met since 2004 when Wayne Rooney scored for Everton in a 1-1 draw.

They have also met twice previously in the League Cup, with Leeds coming out on top 4-1 on both occasions.

Everton boss David Moyes is expected to rest a number of his key players for tomorrow night's tie as he attempts to juggle his squad between Premier League and cup matches.

The versatile Bryan Oviedo is expected to make his first start for the Toffees, who may also hand a start to Steven Naismith.

Hosting Leeds are likely to be at full strength for the Elland Road encounter, although number two goalkeeper Jamie Ashdown may deputise for Paddy Kenny.
