Newcastle United head to Elland Road to face Leeds United and will once again be without Alexander Isak as they seek their first win of the new season.
The Magpies have just one point to show for impressive performances against Aston Villa and Liverpool, Eddie Howe’s men denied a point by a 100th-minute winner against the champions after staging a dramatic fightback from 2-0 down at St James’ Park.
They face a Leeds team coming off successive humblings, Daniel Farke’s side having followed up a 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Arsenal with a humiliating EFL Cup exit to Championship strugglers Sheffield Wednesday.
The Sporting News previews what promises to be an entertaining encounter in West Yorkshire.
