We have a full round of fixtures to look forward to in the English Premier League this weekend including the meeting between Leeds United and Newcastle United.
The match will take place at St James’ Park and the hosts begin the weekend in 15th place on 22 points while the visitors are in 19th place on 12 points.
Leeds United come into the match on the back of a tremendous 3-2 victory at Champions League chasing West Ham United last weekend.
Despite having several players missing and losing two players to injury during the match, Leeds United produced an impressive performance and deserved to take maximum points.
That result means Leeds United have won their last 2 Premier League fixtures, with the victory over West Ham proceeded by a 3-1 home win over Burnley. With the score level at 1-1 going into the final 15 minutes of the match, Leeds United scored 2 goals to secure the win.
Home form in the Premier League shows Leeds United have been difficult to beat in recent games and they are undefeated in 6 of their last 7 on home soil. There have been victories over Burnley, Crystal Palace, and Watford plus draws against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Leicester City, and Brentford.
Trends show both teams have scored in 9 of Leeds United last 12 home Premier League matches. Leeds United have found the back of the net in each of their last 8 home league games.
Newcastle United make the trip to Elland Road having been held to a 1-1 draw at home by Watford in the Premier League last weekend. It was a disappointing result for The Magpies, who opened the scoring shortly after half time and appeared set to take a crucial 3 points. However, Watford had other ideas and scored the equalising goal in the 89th minute to take a point.
That result means Newcastle United have failed to win any of their last 6 matches in all competitions and have recorded just a single victory in their 22 games this season, including the League Cup and FA Cup.
Away form in the Premier League shows Newcastle United have lost each of their 3 most recent games and have failed to win in their last 9 attempts on the road. Trends show Newcastle United have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 9 away Premier League matches.
Looking ahead to the team news and Leeds United are without Adam Forshaw, Tyler Roberts, Joe Gelhardt, Charlie Cresswell, Liam Cooper, and Kalvin Phillips due to injury. There are also doubts over the fitness of Júnior Firpo, Patrick Bamford, and Jamie Shackleton.
Newcastle United travel without the injured trio of Isaac Hayden, Callum Wilson, and Federico Fernandez. Ciaran Clark is hoping to return having tested positive for COVID-19.
Leeds United are an entertaining team to watch and we expect to see goals at both end of the pitch in this game. Newcastle United know they need to start picking up wins if they are to avoid the drop but may be forced to settle for a draw.
