Match Preview

Leeds United heads into this fixture amid a tough test in their previous outing. The whites suffered a 5-0 defeat against Arsenal at the Emirates stadium as well as a shock EFL Cup exit to Sheffield Wednesday.

Head coach Daniel Farke is under some pressure and will be tasking his men to get a favourable result to restore confidence. Leeds United got off to a good start with a win over Everton but remain winless ever since.

Newcastle United on the other hand lost to Liverpool FC in a dramatic fashion after ending the tie 3-2.

Newcastle United were 10 men down early in the game. But Eddie Howe’s side fought back and only lost the game in the late stages.
