Both teams remain unbeaten in the league: Leeds United vs Newcastle United prediction
The Premier League fourth-round match between Leeds United and Newcastle United will take place on 14 September at Elland Road. Both teams have collected five points from their opening three matches and remain unbeaten in the league.
Leeds United: solid start and first defeat in the cup
Daniel Farke's side began the league campaign with a 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest before drawing 1-1 with both Brentford and Brighton. Leeds have scored in each of their opening three league matches and can now go unbeaten through their first four Premier League games for the first time since the 2001/02 season.
During the week, they lost 6-3 to Chelsea in the League Cup despite leading by two goals during the match. Farke rotated heavily, so most of the first-choice players should be relatively fresh for the league fixture.
Newcastle United: five points and still unbeaten
Newcastle drew 2-2 with Liverpool, beat Tottenham 2-0 and then rescued a 2-2 draw against Bournemouth after falling 2-0 behind. Matthias Jaissle's side have scored at least twice in every Premier League match this season.
Their scoring run ended in the League Cup, but Joe Willock's goal was enough for a 1-0 victory over Millwall. Newcastle are also unbeaten in their last six Premier League meetings with Leeds.
Match facts and head-to-head record
- Both teams have collected five points from their opening three Premier League matches.
- Leeds have lost only one of their last 12 league matches.
- Newcastle are unbeaten in their last six Premier League meetings with Leeds.
Both sides can extend their unbeaten runs: Leeds United vs Newcastle United prediction
Leeds press aggressively and are capable of causing the visitors serious problems at home. Newcastle, however, have already shown resilience in several matches and possess a more varied attack.
Both teams regularly create chances but also allow opponents plenty of opportunities. In an evenly balanced and high-scoring contest, a share of the points looks the most likely outcome.
