Match Prediction: Leeds United 1-1 Newcastle United

Leeds United enter this match with a mixed bag of results this season, having suffered a 5-0 hammering against Arsenal, following a solid 1-0 win over Everton on the opening weekend of the campaign. 

Their performance against Everton suggests they can be resilient at home, and they'll look to exploit Newcastle's recent struggles, stemming from their inability to secure a win in their opening two league outings. Leeds might focus on quick transitions and using the pace of their forwards to unsettle Newcastle's defence.

Newcastle, on the other hand, have shown they can compete with top teams but has struggled to convert draws into wins, as seen in their recent goalless draw against Aston Villa. 

The visitors could be without several first-team regulars for this game, including Fabian Schär, Joelinton, Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali.  However, with players like Bruno Guimarães in midfield, they have the quality to control the game and pose a threat on the counter. This match could be closely contested, with both teams looking to capitalise on their strengths.

Leeds United's recent form has been a rollercoaster, with a crushing defeat away to Arsenal after victory at home against Everton. The win at home could boost their confidence going into the match against Newcastle, especially as they've shown they can be solid defensively when needed. 

The key for Leeds will be to maintain that defensive solidity while utilising the pace and creativity of their forwards to create scoring opportunities.

• Loss: 0-5 vs Arsenal (A)

• Win: 1-0 vs Everton (H)

Newcastle United have had a challenging run lately, with a narrow loss to Liverpool at home and a goalless draw against Aston Villa on the road. These results indicate a team that is competitive but struggles to secure victories.

The likely absence of Fabian Schar due to a head injury might affect their defensive stability, but with players like Bruno Guimarães, they can control the midfield and create chances. Newcastle will need to be more clinical in front of goal if they are to secure a positive result from this match.

• Perri, Bogle, Struijk, Rodon, Gudmundsson, Stach, Tanaka (if fit) Gruev,  James, Piroe, Gnonto

Leeds United's predicted lineup suggests a focus on maintaining a solid defensive structure while relying on the pace and creativity of their forwards to exploit Newcastle's potentially weakened defence. The inclusion of players like Daniel James and Wilfried Gnonto could be crucial in providing the necessary dynamism to break down Newcastle's midfield.

• Pope, Trippier, Burn, Thiaw, Livramento, Guimarães, Ramsey, Miley, Barnes, Osula, Elanga

Newcastle United's predicted lineup indicates a strategy to control the game through midfield dominance, with Bruno Guimarães playing a pivotal role. The likely absence of Fabian Schar might force them to be more cautious at the back, relying on Dan Burn's experience to shore up their defence. Osula is likely to replace the suspended Gordon in attack.

• Daniel James vs Kieran Trippier: James's pace and directness will be put to the test against Trippier's defensive nous and experience.

• Wilfried Gnonto vs Dan Burn: Gnonto's agility and skill could pose a significant challenge for Burn, who will need to use his physicality to keep the young forward in check.

• Joël Piroe (Leeds United): Piroe's ability to find the back of the net could be crucial for Leeds, especially after his recent performance against Everton.

• Bruno Guimarães (Newcastle United): Guimarães's control and distribution in midfield will be vital for Newcastle, as he looks to dictate the tempo of the game.
