Leeds vs Newcastle prediction, stats, tips & team news
Draw (5/2 with Betway)
Three of the past four games between Leeds and Newcastle have been drawn. Newcastle are also winless in their past four away league games.
35+ match shots
Leeds took 21 shots in their opening game of the season, while Newcastle had 16.
How both teams go into Leeds vs Newcastle
Leeds' return to the Premier League couldn't have gone any better. It needed a late penalty, but the Whites marked their first home game back in the top flight with a victory over Everton. Now it's about building on that victory and going into the international break with a positive result. Leeds fans may take home from their last Premier League campaign, opening 2022-23 with back-to-back home wins. That was also the last time they won two home matches in a row in the top flight.
Newcastle started the season with a draw away from home against Aston Villa, failing to convert their chances despite accumulating 1.43 Expected Goals. It's a problem they may continue to have with Alexander Isak's future looking unlikely to be at St James' Park. And Newcastle aren't on the best run of form away from home, now winless in four including the end of last season.
Leeds team news
Sebastiaan Bornauw may be back in time for this game but he requires further tests. But he is Leeds' only absentee as things stand.
Newcastle team news
Alexander Isak is unlikely to play, unless something drastic happens before this game. Joe Willock is injured and not expected back until after the international break.
Leeds vs Newcastle head-to-head
Newcastle are unbeaten in their past four games against Leeds, but three of those matches have finished level.

Arne Slot confirms Liverpool suffering from injury crisis ahead of Newcastle game
Liverpool manager Arne Slot has revealed his injury dilemma at right back heading into this weekend's Premier League clash with Newcastle, with an emotional Premier League opener against Bournemouth, Joe Gomez, and Conor Bradley all missing for the trip to St. James' Park. The Reds head into the fixture off the back of an emotional Premier League opener against Bournemouth. They defeated the Cherries 4-2, their first league game since Diogo Jota's tragic passing. Frimpong featured in the game but was withdrawn before the hour mark and will miss Liverpool's trip to Newcastle. "Jeremie has a very positive injury record. Conor has been out once or twice last season," Slot said. "These things happen. We only have two injuries at the same moment but they are in the same position. Wata, Dominik Szoboszlai." READ MORE: Arne Slot provides firm answer to transfer speculation amid Alexander Isak and Marc Guehi uncertainty READ MORE: Liverpool's actions after $134M offer for Alexander Isak's team-mate as star goes nuclear Gomez has had his fair share of injury struggles since joining from Charlton in 2015. His latest setback came during preseason, an Achilles issue, but he featured for the Reds against Bournemouth. However, Slot has confirmed that he couldn't train for three days, and the player won't be rushed to start. "Joe Gomez hasn't had a setback, but he wasn't able to train three days in a row," Slot said on Gomez. "We will see where he is on Monday and if he can start. You can't prepare for injuries in one position - you can't have five right-backs. Although we do have three left-backs at the moment!" And on academy graduate Bradley, Slot confirmed: "Conor trained with us for a few minutes today for the first time. Medical team was completely right about Jeremie to take him off because he's out until the end of the international break. "We felt Jeremie had an issue in his hamstring - the medical team did. They were right. A good call from them, as otherwise he could have been out for even longer." The trip to the North East comes after a drawn-out transfer saga involving Newcastle's superstar striker, Alexander Isak. Liverpool submitted a bid worth close to $140 million, but the bid was rejected despite the player signaling to the Magpies that he was ready for a new adventure. Liverpool has maintained their interest in Isak despite splashing $106M on Hugo Ekitike, who got off to a scoring start against Bournemouth. Isak has gone as far as to release a statement on his social media to explain his intent to depart Newcastle. "I've kept quiet for a long time while others have spoken," Isak wrote on social media. "That silence has allowed people to push their own version of events, even though they know it doesn't reflect what was really said and agreed behind closed doors. "The reality is that promises were made and the club has known my position for a long time. To now act as if these issues are only emerging is misleading. "When promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship can't continue. That's where things are for me right now -- and why change is in the best interests of everyone, not just myself."

Liverpool's Jeremie Frimpong out until after international break with hamstring injury
Liverpool have suffered a blow with Jeremie Frimpong ruled out with a hamstring injury until after the September international break. The summer signing from Bayer Leverkusen was substituted during the second half of his Premier League debut against Bournemouth last Friday and will miss Monday's trip to Newcastle United as well as the home clash with Arsenal on August 31. Advertisement 'The medical team were completely right about Jeremie when they told me we had to take him off,' head coach Arne Slot said. 'I already said immediately after the game that it had nothing to do with how he played, but we felt he had an issue with his hamstring. And by 'we' I mean the medical staff. They were completely right. 'So a good call to take him off otherwise he would have maybe been out for longer. We expect to have him back after the international break.' It leaves the Dutchman with a potential headache at right-back ahead of Monday's game at St James' Park. The hope is that Conor Bradley will be fit to return after missing both the Community Shield and the win over Bournemouth with a muscle problem, but Slot said the academy graduate 'only trained for a few minutes with us today for the first time'. Joe Gomez, who made his comeback from injury off the bench against Bournemouth, could deputise but he's still hampered by some discomfort in his Achilles. 'Joe is definitely an option but for him to play 20 minutes last week was quite a lot after a long time out,' Slot added. 'I wouldn't say he's had a setback but he was not able to train three days in a row completely with the team. Let's see if he can involved on Monday. Wata (Endo) has played in that position before and so has Dominik Szoboszlai.' Slot refused to be drawn on Liverpool's pursuit of Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, which has added some extra spice to Monday's contest. The Premier League champions had an opening bid of £110 million rejected earlier this month. 'It would be much nicer for me to talk about the players we have but I understand that you have to ask this question,' he said. 'I am very happy with the squad we have. If you go to Newcastle, you know what to expect. We played them three times last season and twice their intensity was above ours. In the away game for 60 minutes they were so intense and fully deserved to lead and in the League Cup final they were more intense than us. Advertisement 'They don't need to add anything to be intense playing at St James' Park. A very good team who can make it a fight and they also have players with ability who are comfortable on the ball. They are one of the best teams in the league and it's one of the most difficult away games you can have in a season, especially under the lights.' (Paul Ellis/AFP via Getty Images) Spot the pattern.

Liverpool defender Frimpong out for a few weeks with hamstring injury
LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Liverpool right back Jeremie Frimpong will be out with a hamstring injury until after the upcoming international break, manager Arne Slot said Thursday. Frimpong was hurt in the 4-2 win over Bournemouth in the opening Premier League game on Friday, coming off in the 60th minute. He will now miss the Premier League games against Newcastle on Monday and then Arsenal. The Netherlands play Poland and Lithuania in World Cup qualifiers in early September. Slot might be without a designated right back against Newcastle, with another option — Conor Bradley — having recently been injured. Long-time right back Trent Alexander-Arnold left for Real Madrid during the offseason. ___ AP soccer:
