Newcastle welcome Leeds to St James’ Park on Wednesday, January 7, in the English Premier League, with both teams enjoying some good form.

The hosts have won back-to-back games against Burnley and Crystal Palace, taking them to ninth place in the table, five points off the top four.

Eddie Howe’s Newcastle side have impressed mainly at home, earning 20 points from ten matches and scoring 18.

Newcastle haven’t beaten Leeds at home since 2013; four of the last five meetings have ended as draws.

Meanwhile, Leeds are unbeaten in seven league matches, having taken points off Chelsea, Manchester United, and Liverpool twice during this run.

Their good form has seen them go eight points above the relegation zone and have a far superior goal difference to the teams below.

Away from home has been more of a struggle, as Leeds have only picked up one win on the road, coming against rock-bottom Wolves.
