The Whites head to Goodison Park for a fixture for the first time since 2003, looking to build on last weekend’s draw with Arsenal at Elland Road.

Everton sit sixth in the Premier League table and the Poland international had praise for Ancelotti’s side.

“They had a great start,” he explained.

“They weren’t the best in the last couple of games but they won against Fulham last weekend.

“I've watched the game so kind of know what to expect.”

Klich has played in all nine of Leeds’ Premier League matches so far.

As the midfielder looks to get into double figures this weekend, he discussed what differences he has noticed to last season.

He said: “The quality is better and so are the players in Premier League, which is good, because you always want to compete against the big boys.

“I'm very happy that we had a great start but now we see the reality of the Premier League, it isn't only playing against Liverpool and Man City every week.

“You want to play the big teams, but at the same time you need to win games as we did against Fulham, Sheffield United and those teams.”

Klich has now made over 100 appearances across all competitions for the Whites. The attack-minded midfielder is enjoying life at Elland Road and gave his view on how Marcelo Bielsa had helped to improve his game.

“I think he improved every player,” Klich stated.

“We seem like we can we play on 150 per cent of our capacity because we all played the best football in our lives, and we are all in the best physical condition.

“I think everything I did before he came I did on a slower pace.

“Now everything that I do I look quicker, I move better on the pitch and I know what my role is within the team more clearly.

“Hard work pays off, it’s a cliche, but I think it perfectly suits me, because I worked really hard to be here.

“I made a lot of sacrifices as well and I'm here so this is a good lesson.”
