Team News

Newcastle
Leeds
  • Eddie Howe may make one change to his XI here, with Allan Saint-Maximin potentially replacing Sean Longstaff in the team, with Joelinton moving into midfield.
  • Emil Krafth, Alexander Isak, Jonjo Shelvey and Paul Dummett are all ruled out, while Callum Wilson is struggling due to illness.
  • Tyler Adams is available following a ban, and his return is a boost for Leeds.
  • Jesse Marsch may make a couple of changes here, with Crysencio Summerville, Joe Gelhardt and Diego Llorente in line to start.

Prediction

  • Newcastle were excellent against Leicester on Boxing Day as they eased to a 3-0 win to extend their unbeaten run to 11 matches. A six-game winning run has seen the Magpies rise to third.
  • Leeds fell to a 3-1 loss to Manchester City on Wednesday night, and defeat means they have lost six of their last eight. The Whites are actually unbeaten on their last three trips to St. James' Park.
  • Newcastle have kept a clean sheet in five of their last seven league matches, and that run might just continue here.
