Leeds have drifted out to 6/4 with BOYLE Sports in their Premier League relegation odds after returning to the top flight with a 1-0 home win over Everton.
The Whites had to rely on a late Lukas Nmecha penalty to pick up all three points but it was a deserved success following an energetic display in front of a fired-up Elland Road crowd.
Summer signing Gabriel Gudmundsson told LUTV after an impressive debut: “Wow! I really enjoyed that one, I can tell you that.

“We have to have this atmosphere. It was amazing. It was so good and we need them to push us.
“It does make a difference. Obviously, you’re focused on the game, but hearing the crowd shouting and singing is really nice.
“It adds a small percentage - to work and run and fight even more, so they need to keep doing that."
Everton boss David Moyes was furious at referee Chris Kavanagh’s penalty decision after James Tarkowski was adjudged to have handled and the Toffees were trimmed to 13/2 to go down.
Sunderland Back With A Bang
Black Cats back with a bang
Sunderland stormed to a sensational 3-0 victory over West Ham at the Stadium of Light and can now be backed at 4/6 for a quick return to the Championship.
Second-half goals from Eliezer Mayenda, Dan Ballard and Wilson Isidor did the damage for the Black Cats and manager Regis Le Bris expressed his delight at having “strong” forward options this season.
“We are lucky because we have strong players in this position, it’s not easy to have now three strikers able to play at that level,” the Frenchman said. “They are young, really talented with different qualities.
“At the minute, I’m really happy with this set-up and this competition is really helpful as well to push the players.”
Hammers boss Graham Potter accepted his players "have to do the basics" better and the Irons are 3/1 to fall.
Burnley Struggle Against Spurs
Clarets fail to earn their Spurs
Burnley couldn’t make it a hat-trick of wins for the promoted clubs and are 2/7 favourites in the Premier League relegation odds following a 3-0 defeat at Tottenham.
The Clarets created a number of first-half chances, but were punished for a lack of clinical edge in both boxes.
“It’s really fine margins of the Premier League and that’s probably the main thing to come out of it,” boss Scott Parker commented.
“The clinicalness of the Premier League, they produce an outstanding, world-class finish to see the game away from us, but I saw some real positives.
“We’re disappointed because we came here to try to get a result, but overall there were some really pleasing things.”
Brentford can be backed at 9/4 in this market after being beaten 3-1 at Nottingham Forest, while Wolves are the same price following a 4-0 drubbing by Manchester City on home turf.
