Carlo Ancelotti says he is expecting an open game when his Everton side take on Leeds United.
The Whites make the trip to Goodison Park on Saturday evening looking to build on a positive performance in Sunday's goalless draw with Arsenal.
They face an Everton side sat sixth in the table, but who have had their momentum checked following a strong start to the season.
Toffees boss Ancelotti feels United's versatile, high-pressing nature means it will be an open match at Goodison Park.
"Leeds is a team that is a dynamic team," he said. "It is going to be an open match I think with a lot of intensity.
"The Bielsa teams are teams like Leeds, teams that keep a high intensity in the game, but with the ball and without the ball and we are going to expect this kind of game."
Speaking earlier to Sky Sports, the Italian also revealed how excited he was to meet Leeds counterpart Marcelo Bielsa, having only so far been able to admire his managerial style from afar.
"I've never met him personally," said Ancelotti.
"It's the first time I can meet him, but I'm really attracted to the style of play of his teams.
"When he was at Athletic Bilbao, it was the same. I love his style of football and I would love to spend time with him when it's possible to talk about football."
While Everton and Leeds have won praise for their goal-scoring abilities this season, neither side have been that strong defensively.
The Whites are one of just three sides to have conceded more goals than Everton this season and Ancelotti is aware his team need to tighten up at the back.
He said: "Of course, we have to be concerned and we have to be worried because we have conceded too many goals.
"It's too much from my point of view and we are working on this.
"It's true that we scored a lot of goals in these first games, we were really efficient in front also because our strikers did really well in this period.
"But we conceded too much and we have to avoid this. We need to have, in one word, more balance."
