Eddie Howe made one change to his Newcastle side for the crucial match against Leeds with Miguel Almiron coming back in place of Jacob Murphy. The Magpies travel to Leeds looking to get back to winning ways after last Sunday’s 2-0 defeat at home to Arsenal.
Meanwhile, Leeds are looking to end a run of six Premier League games without a win in their first home match under new manager Sam Allardyce.
Newcastle have several players ruled out of the match with Howe confirming a few season ending injury issues. Jamaal Lascelles, Matt Ritchie and Emil Krafth have all had their seasons ended prematurely while Ryan Fraser has been frozen out of the first-team picture.
NUFC XI: Pope; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn; Guimaraes, Joelinton, Willock; Almiron, Isak, Wilson
Subs: Dubravka, Dummett, Gordon, Saint-Maximin, Lewis, Targett, Manquillo, Murphy, Anderson
