Leeds United XI vs Newcastle United – Predicted lineup and team news

Leeds United travel to Tyneside tonight while they aim to extend their impressive seven-match unbeaten streak.

Currently, Daniel Farke’s side sit 16th in the table. Recently, they showed remarkable resilience against the league’s elite. Specifically, they secured draws against Manchester United and Liverpool. Consequently, the Whites established a comfortable eight-point cushion above the drop zone.

Now, they face Newcastle United. Historically, the Magpies won only once in their last seven meetings with Leeds. Therefore, the visitors arrive with confidence. Crucially, they aim to extend their unbeaten run against their North East rivals.

Fortunately, Daniel Farke receives a boost with Ethan Ampadu’s return. Previously, the captain served a one-match suspension. Likely, the Welshman will slot straight back into midfield. However, the visitors remain without Joe Rodon and Daniel James.

Additionally, Jayden Bogle faces a late fitness test. Unfortunately, he sustained a calf issue during the draw with Manchester United. Notably, Sean Longstaff could make a romantic return to his former home. Specifically, Farke suggested the midfielder might feature for a few minutes.

In attack, Dominic Calvert-Lewin leads the line again. Impressively, the striker scored eight league goals this season. Finally, Brenden Aaronson will support him after he netted the opener on Sunday.
