Huge action in the Premier League kicks off the action on Saturday, as relegation-threatened Leeds United host Champions League-chasing Newcastle at Elland Road. Both sides will be looking for a return to winning ways after suffering defeats in their previous fixtures.
Before Betting On Leeds vs Newcastle
A pulsating day of Premier League action on Monday has piled the pressure on Leeds United, as the Whites come into this home showdown in the bottom three places in the Premier League standings. They could move out of the relegation spots with victory at Elland Road, as they are just two points behind Everton, who sit 17th.
Sam Allardyce would have been encouraged by his side’s performance against Manchester City last weekend, as they didn’t fall apart against the reigning champions despite conceding twice inside the opening half an hour. Leeds managed to pull a goal back with five minutes remaining, but they couldn’t find a crucial equalizer in the final five minutes.
There will also be pressure on Newcastle this weekend, as their spot in the Champions League spots is still far from assured. Eddie Howe’s side sit three points clear of Liverpool coming into this fixture, but they have lost two of their previous five matches. Manchester United could also move above the Magpies this weekend if Newcastle fail to win at Elland Road.
Newcastle were beaten for the fifth time this season in their previous fixture, as they were edged out by Arsenal at St James’ Park. That was only their second home defeat of the season. However, this could be a crucial fixture in their battle for a top four spot, as they still have massive fixtures against Brighton, Leicester and Chelsea to come.
