However, they have not always been easy to beat at home and Newcastle United are undefeated in 3 of their last 4 home Premier League games.
Much like their opponents, Leeds United have been on a poor run of form which has seen them lose each of their last 3 matches in all competitions.

Team news and Newcastle United will be without the injured duo of Paul Dummett and Federico Fernandez. There are doubts over the fitness of Ciaran Clark but Allan Saint-Maximin and Ryan Fraser could come into the starting XI.
Leeds United travel without the injured Robin Koch, Adam Forshaw, and Gaetano Berardi. Illan Meslier could return in goal for the visitors.
Both teams need a victory and have little option but to go for the win, which could lead to over 2.5 goals being scored in this match. It is now or never for Steve Bruce and Newcastle United could come out on top to take maximum points.
