Leeds fans’ verdict on Chelsea chaos, ‘worrying’ Daniel Farke call and Newcastle’s ‘lethal’ threat | OneFootball

Leeds United seek a swift response to their chaotic 6-3 Carabao Cup loss at Chelsea when Newcastle United visit Elland Road on Monday night. Both sides are unbeaten with five points from nine, the visitors ahead on goal difference.

As reported by yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, a supporter jury see Newcastle as dangerous on the counter and likely to target flaws exposed at Stamford Bridge, though several felt Chelsea’s half-time influx of Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers and Pedro Neto changed the game after Leeds led 2-0.

Selection calls were tentative. One view backed a back three of Tarik Muharemovic, James Justin and Jaka Bijol, with Nico Elvedi cover, Anton Stach alongside captain Ethan Ampadu and Dominic Calvert-Lewin up front, with Noah Okafor expected to support. Joe Rodon is out for several weeks with a thigh problem and Newcastle are also without England centre-back Dan Burn.

Contributors described Newcastle as in transition after the Eddie Howe era and now led by Matthias Jaissle. They cited a steady league start, plus a 1-0 EFL Cup win at Millwall, suggesting a buoyant mood.

Most predictions edged towards a stalemate, with two tipping 2-2. Others went for home wins, split between 2-1 and 3-2. Last season brought a draw at Elland Road and a 4-3 thriller at St James’ Park, settled by Harvey Barnes in the 102nd minute.
