Newcastle United search for a seventh Premier League win in a row when they host Leeds United on New Year’s Day.

The Magpies defeated Leicester City in their last outing, blowing away their opponents with a faultless opening half an hour at the King Power Stadium.

That win moved Eddie Howe’s side into 2nd place as they aim to sign off a brilliant 2022 in style in front of their own supporters.

Only Cambridge United and Liverpool have defeated Newcastle at home this calendar year with the Magpies still unbeaten at home this campaign.

But will Howe rotate his side for the clash with Leeds? Or will he stick to his tried and tested starting XI?

Here, we take a look at the Newcastle United starting XI that Howe could name to face Leeds United on Saturday.
