Newcastle United hosts Leeds United on Match Day 5 of the Premier League with both teams seeking the first haul of three points, having gone winless in the opening four league matches. Leeds go to this game placed just above the relegation region – 17th with two points, while Newcastle have one point so far, and are 19th. The hosts are coming from a 4-1 loss to Manchester United, their third defeat of the season and the fourth game in five that they’ve conceded two or more goals. They haven’t scored in two of the last five matches, but three of the five have produced over 2.5 goals. Newcastle have only one clean sheet in the last five matches and both teams have scored in three of the five. At home, Newcastle have one win in five league games and have conceded two or more goals in four of them. They lost both league matches against Leeds United last season, and as they plot for revenge, Newcastle will be forced to do without Callum Wilson and Martin Dubravka. Meanwhile, Ciaran Clark and Joe Willock have knocks and remain doubtful.

Leeds United are unbeaten in three matches against Newcastle United. They are coming from a 3-0 loss to Liverpool and just like Newcastle, they are winless in their opening four league matches of the season. Their only win this season came in the League Cup. They’ve conceded two or more goals in three of five and have kept just one clean sheet in five matches. Leeds have failed to score in just one of their last five matches but both teams have scored in three of their last five matches. Four of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals and in their last 10 away league matches, Leeds United have lost five. Pascal Struijk is unavailable for this game; the defender was sent off after a nasty foul on Liverpool’s Harvey Elliot in the last game. Meanwhile, Robin Koch and Diego Llorente are major injury doubts.
