• Leeds return to Elland Road after a bruising week in league and cup action.
• Newcastle chasing their first win of the Premier League campaign.
• Daniel Farke unbeaten against Eddie Howe in the top flight.
• Magpies boast a strong record at Elland Road, winning half their league visits.

Leeds’ return to the Premier League started brightly with a narrow win over Everton, but reality hit hard in their next fixtures. A 5-0 demolition at Arsenal was followed by a painful EFL Cup exit against Sheffield Wednesday on penalties. Daniel Farke admitted his side looked blunt in front of goal despite firing 25 shots in midweek. Still, Elland Road remains a fortress. The Whites are unbeaten in 21 home league matches, their best run under Farke, and they’ll lean on that record to rediscover momentum.

Injuries, though, are piling up. Ethan Ampadu and Ao Tanaka remain sidelined, while new signing Noah Okafor is a doubt. Leeds may turn to former Newcastle man Sean Longstaff to plug the midfield gaps, with Anton Stach continuing to impress as a creative spark. Can this patched-up side really hold off a Newcastle squad desperate to make a statement? It’s a tough ask, but Leeds have surprised before.

Newcastle’s season hasn’t kicked off smoothly either. A stalemate with Aston Villa and a dramatic 3-2 defeat to Liverpool have left Eddie Howe’s men frustrated. The Liverpool loss stung even more as they clawed back from two down with 10 men, only to concede in the 100th minute. Howe called it a game “full of emotions,” and he’ll want his players to channel that same fire without the chaos this time around. Missing Anthony Gordon and Joelinton won’t help, though Fabian Schär is cleared to return in defence.

History tilts toward the Magpies. They’ve won seven of their 14 Premier League visits to Elland Road a 50% strike rate, their best against any side on the road. They’ve also beaten promoted teams eight times in a row, usually scoring for fun. Even without Alexander Isak, Harvey Barnes has enjoyed a knack for hurting Leeds, scoring five in his last six league games against them. That kind of edge could make all the difference on Saturday. Bold prediction? Newcastle may just end their winless run here. After all, the Magpies rarely stay quiet for long.

Leeds will fight, no doubt. Their home crowd makes Elland Road one of the hardest places to play, and Farke’s unbeaten record against Howe lingers as a subplot. But when weighing recent form, squad depth, and attacking pedigree, the visitors simply look better equipped. This clash might be scrappy, maybe even nervy, but if Newcastle want to prove they’re still top-four material, this is the kind of game they have to win. Keep an eye on them to finally find that first breakthrough of the season.
