The stats
Leeds won 29 of their 46 Championship games last season to help them reach 100 points, while they had the best home record in the Championship.
Eighteen of their wins came at home as they outclassed the majority of their rivals.

Prediction
Leeds boss Farke has spent the last few weeks asking for attacking reinforcements before the transfer window shuts.
The Whites failed to score more than one goal in three of their five pre-season matches, but they did look more compact after the recent arrival of Bijol, Anton Stach, Lucas Perri, Sean Longstaff and Gabriel Gudmundsson.
Leeds will lean heavily on their home form this season to try and avoid relegation and they should be tough to break down against the Toffees.
The same can be said of Everton, who conceded one goal or fewer in 10 of their final 12 games in the Premier League last season.
Everton are traditionally well set up under Moyes and they would settle for a point on the opening day, in a game that should provide a tough test for both sides.
