Newcastle United, Recent FormIn their last match Newcastle United enforced their superiority over Leicester City with a 3-0 away win. They came away from that fixture with 40% of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 5 on target. By comparison, Leicester City managed 8 attempts on goal, with 2 on target.
Eddie Howe will be more than satisfied with his side's form of late, having recorded 15 goals in their last 6 encounters and only conceded 2 goals in that time. They have shown that they have a consistent appetite for goals at home of late, having clocked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches at St James' Park. They are showing that they are not easy to beat with a defensive record of 4 clean sheets in their last 6 matches.
They are showing impressive league form with a run of 6 straight wins in a row and are also unbeaten in their last 11 games.
On an individual basis, Miguel Almirón will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Newcastle United's last 6 league games.
Leeds United, Recent FormWith Manchester City sitting a clear 14 places above them in the table, Leeds United won't feel totally dejected with their 3-1 home defeat by them last time out. In that game they had 31% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to Manchester City who had 26 attempts and 9 on target.
Whilst manager Jesse Marsch will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, with them having scored 12 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 16 in the same period. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings. As defensive records go, they don't have one to celebrate, with at least 1 goal shipped in 13 of their 15 league matches this season.
They've had a dismal run of form on their travels recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 away games, a solitary win providing little consolation.
Goalscorer Rodrigo Moreno will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 5 goals in his last 6 league matches for Leeds United.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 0-1 win for Newcastle United.
Newcastle will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 9 encounters with The Whites.
In the league, Newcastle has not won any of the last 3 times they have welcomed Leeds to St James' Park.
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Paul Dummett (Calf), Alexander Isak (Calf), Emil Krafth (Ligament), Jonjo Shelvey (Calf) and Callum Wilson (Fever) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Jesse Marsch has a number of injury concerns in his Leeds squad to contend with: Patrick Bamford (Groin), Stuart Dallas (Broken leg), Archie Gray (Ankle) and Luis Sinisterra (Foot)
