Match Forecast: Leeds United versus Newcastle United
Newcastle United and Leeds United Prepare for Premier League Clash
Newcastle United and Leeds United are set to square off in the Premier League, with both teams looking to make a statement.
Newcastle United are aiming to strengthen their attacking line, with the potential signing of Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart on the horizon. However, they face a challenge as Sandro Tonali is racing to be fit for the match, while Alexander Isak remains sidelined. Malick Thiaw and Jacob Ramsey could make their full debuts in defense and midfield respectively.
The Magpies were held to a 1-2 defeat against Liverpool, despite having a man advantage for most of the match. Will Osula is vying for a starting role in place of Gordon, who begins a three-match suspension following his red card against Liverpool. Joelinton is ruled out with a groin problem, which could leave a gap in their attack.
Leeds United, on the other hand, are unbeaten in 21 successive league outings at home under Daniel Farke, equaling their longest such run under his tenure. They aim to bounce back from their EFL Cup disappointment and a 5-0 defeat at Arsenal. Leeds United's midfield will be stretched due to Ethan Ampadu, Ao Tanaka, and possibly Noah Okafor being sidelined. Sean Longstaff could make his first league start for Leeds United following his summer switch from Newcastle. Anton Stach may partner Sean Longstaff in midfield.
Eddie Howe, the manager of Newcastle United playing against Leeds United in the Premier League, is looking to build momentum in the Premier League. Daniel Farke, Leeds United's manager, admitted feeling "hurt" and "embarrassed" by the EFL Cup exit and lamented his side's lack of ruthlessness.
Newcastle United have won seven out of 14 Premier League visits to Elland Road, their best away success rate against any side faced at least 10 times. In their last six Premier League meetings, Leeds United have only lost one, their sole defeat being a 1-0 loss at Elland Road in January 2022.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United's 16-year-old player, Rio Ngumoha, scored a 100th-minute winner against Liverpool in a recent match, providing a glimmer of hope for the future.
This promises to be an exciting clash between two teams with different goals and challenges. Will Newcastle United continue their winning streak against newly promoted sides, or will Leeds United break their unbeaten home run and return to winning ways? Only time will tell.
