Leeds United is on its way to Tyneside tonight, looking to continue their strong unbeaten streak of seven matches.
Currently, under Daniel Farke’s management, the team is in 16th place. Recently, they have shown great determination against some of the top teams, drawing with Manchester United and Liverpool. This has given them an eight-point lead over the relegation zone.
They are now set to play Newcastle United, who have only beaten Leeds once in their last seven encounters. This history boosts Leeds’ confidence as they aim to maintain their unbeaten record against the North East club.
Leeds Team News
Daniel Farke is pleased to have Ethan Ampadu back after his one-match suspension. The captain is expected to return to midfield. However, Joe Rodon and Daniel James are still sidelined.
Jayden Bogle is also a doubt due to a calf issue sustained during the draw against Manchester United. Sean Longstaff may return to his old stomping ground, as Farke hinted he could play for a few minutes.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin will lead the attack again, having scored eight league goals this season. Brenden Aaronson will support him following his goal last Sunday.
