Iwobi and his Everton teammates will face Jesse Marsch's men on Tuesday night, looking for their first league win of the season. 

Iwobi says Leeds will be difficult

Frank Lampard's men are without a win from their first four games after losing to Chelsea and Aston Villa in their opening two games before picking up a point against Nottingham Forest and Brentford, respectively. 

Although the Toffees go into the game against Leeds with confidence after picking up a respectable point in their match against the Bees last time out, Iwobi insists it will not be an easy encounter.

"It's not going to be easy playing away as well, Iwobi said ahead of the clash on Tuesday night. 

"Their fans will be on them to give them that motivation. But it's another away challenge for us.

Iwobi wants Everton teammates to embrace the pressure

But despite the challenge that awaits Everton, Iwobi insists he loves the pressure and has urged his teammates to embrace the hostile environment too. 

"For me, I can only speak for myself, I enjoy playing under that pressure and giving that energy, that belief to just go and try and keep them quiet as much as we can," Iwobi added.

"It's another challenge to try and get the three points. It won't be easy, but all we can do is try," Iwobi added. 

Everton will hope Iwobi maintains his current form if they are to get anything from the game against Leeds. The Nigerian international has been the Toffees shining light in what has been a disappointing campaign so far. 

A win for Everton will take them two points behind their opponents tomorrow.
