Leeds host Newcastle in the fourth round of the English Premier League on Monday, 14 September 2026, with the two sides separated by one place in the table.
Leeds have collected three points from their opening three matches and sit 10th. They have scored three goals and conceded two so far this season.
Their most recent fixture ended in a 1-1 home draw with Leeds. The hosts scored first in the 15th minute but were unable to hold on for victory.
Newcastle are ninth after also playing three matches. The visitors have five points, the same total stated for Leeds, but are above their opponents on additional criteria. Newcastle have scored six goals and conceded four, giving them a positive goal difference.
The Magpies also drew their latest game, sharing four goals with Bournemouth at home in a 2-2 result.
Form and head-to-head record
Despite Leeds’ lower position in the table, bookmakers’ experts make the home side favourites for Monday’s match.
Leeds have not won in their past three matches in all competitions. Newcastle, meanwhile, have avoided defeat in normal time in each of their last six games.
Recent meetings between the clubs have generally been closely contested. Three of the last four head-to-head matches finished level, including two draws recorded within normal time.
The available form suggests little to separate the teams at Elland Road. Leeds will have home advantage and are rated as the more likely winners by bookmakers, but Newcastle arrive on a longer unbeaten run in normal time.
The match is expected to be decided by a narrow margin, with one goal potentially determining the outcome. The prediction is for the first half to finish level.
