Leeds host in-form Newcastle at Elland Road
Leeds return to Elland Road on 14 September to face Newcastle in a Premier League fixture that pits two sides showing decent early-season form against one another, with matchday four of the campaign now upon them.
Form guide
Leeds arrive on the back of a mixed run of results, having won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five matches, an up-and-down sequence including two wins and a defeat sandwiched around a pair of draws.
Newcastle, by contrast, have been the slightly sharper of the two sides in recent weeks, winning three and drawing two without tasting defeat, a run that gives them a marginal edge in confidence heading into this meeting.
Recent history
The two clubs have a recent history of tight and often high-scoring affairs. Their last meeting, in January 2026, saw Newcastle come out on top 4-3, while the previous encounter at the end of August 2025 finished goalless.
Further back, a 2-2 draw in May 2023 and a goalless draw in December 2022 underline how competitive this fixture has tended to be, though Newcastle also won 1-0 at Elland Road in January 2022.
What to expect
With Newcastle holding a slight edge in recent form and a history of getting the better of Leeds in their last direct meeting, this fixture looks set to be closely contested. Leeds will be looking to their home advantage at Elland Road to help arrest any dip in momentum, while Newcastle will hope to build on their unbeaten run in recent matches.
