Leeds United and Newcastle United head into what will be a must-win Premier League fixture for both teams at Elland Road on Saturday. Leeds are 19th in the standings and struggling in the drop zone, whereas Newcastle are trying to hold onto their third spot, with Manchester United and Liverpool on their tail.
The Welsh team is winless in their last six fixtures and have lost five of those. They succumbed to an Ilkay Gundogan brace in their last game against Manchester City and will be desperate to turn the tide and add points to the bag.
Newcastle have been excellent this season and are likely to finish in the top four. They have only lost two out of their last 10 games, but a 2-0 defeat to Arsenal in their last match will have acted as a wake-up call for the team.

Newcastle have a few injury woes to deal with as they head into the game. The absence of Sean Longstaff in their defeat to Arsenal due to a foot injury has raised doubts about his availability for the upcoming game. It remains to be seen if the midfielder will make a swift recovery and be able to contribute to his team's efforts on Saturday.
Unfortunately, the Magpies have also been hit with long-term injuries to two key players, Jamaal Lascelles and Emil Krafth. Lascelles, the team's captain and a stalwart in their defense, is set to miss the remainder of the season due to a calf injury. Krafth, on the other hand, has been ruled out for the rest of the season due to an ACL problem.
