Leeds United suffered their second straight loss after going down 2-1 at home to West Ham United and they will be hoping for a reprieve when they host Newcastle United on Match Day 13. The two sides go to this match on contrasting fortunes, with Newcastle having won their last two matches. Ahead of the match, Leeds United have managed 14 points and are in 14th place while Newcastle, on 17 points are placed 12th. Leeds United have kept just two clean sheets in their last six matches and have three wins in their last their last 10 matches. The team led in the last two matches, but lost both and with a good scoring run, they’ll be keen to see that the same is not repeated here. If they focus on their attacking prowess, they may change fortunes as they have failed to score in just one of the last five matches and have scored in eight of their last 10 matches. However, Leeds have not scored more than one goal in their last six matches and they have conceded two or more in four of the last six. In the last five matches, they have let in nine goals and scored four. It hasn’t been easier for them at home; the team has no win in the last five home matches. They have scored in four of their last six home matches in the league but kept just one clean sheet.

On the other hand, Newcastle United will be seeking a third straight win as they tour Leeds. They beat West Bromwich Albion in their last game but Darnell Furlong’s goal ensured they didn’t have two straight clean sheets, having beaten Crystal Palace 2-0 earlier. The clean sheet against Palace is Newcastle’s only one in the last 10 matches, but they have scored in eight. They have actually scored two or more goals in three of their last five matches and their key man has been Callum Wilson with three goals in the last five matches. In the last five matches Newcastle have scored six goals, four of these have come inside the final 10 minutes. Only one of the six goals they have scored in the last five matches has come in the first half. As they head to Leeds, the Magpies have managed two wins in their last five away league matches but they have scored in four of the last five away league matches. In three of their last five away league games, Newcastle have managed to score and all their six away goals in the last five league matches have come in the second half. Most of their top players are back from injury, including Dwight Gayle, who rose from the bench to grab the winner against West Bromwich Albion in the last game.
