How both teams go into Leeds vs Newcastle

Leeds’ return to the Premier League couldn’t have gone any better. It needed a late penalty, but the Whites marked their first home game back in the top flight with a victory over Everton. Now it’s about building on that victory and going into the international break with a positive result. Leeds fans may take home from their last Premier League campaign, opening 2022-23 with back-to-back home wins. That was also the last time they won two home matches in a row in the top flight.

Newcastle started the season with a draw away from home against Aston Villa, failing to convert their chances despite accumulating 1.43 Expected Goals. It’s a problem they may continue to have with Alexander Isak’s future looking unlikely to be at St James’ Park. And Newcastle aren’t on the best run of form away from home, now winless in four including the end of last season.

Leeds team news

Sebastiaan Bornauw may be back in time for this game but he requires further tests. But he is Leeds’ only absentee as things stand.

Newcastle team news

Alexander Isak is unlikely to play, unless something drastic happens before this game. Joe Willock is injured and not expected back until after the international break.

Leeds vs Newcastle head-to-head
