Leeds United will look to return to their winning ways when they host Newcastle United in a thrilling Premier League clash on Saturday.
The reigning EFL Champions, Leeds United, started with an impressive 1-0 victory over Everton in their opening match after getting promoted to the Premier League. But the joy didn't last long as Daniel Farke’s side was blown away by Arsenal in a 0-5 humiliating defeat. The hosts would look to rectify their mistake and get back their lost confidence in their third outing.
Newcastle United, meanwhile, are winless in their first two outings of the Premier League. They started with a goalless draw against Aston Villa in their season opener and then fell down 2-3 to the defending Premier League champs, Liverpool, last time out. Eddie Howe's side is desperately looking to get their first victory of this season.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times, and the latest lineup news.
