Newcastle United Starting XI vs Leeds: Confirmed Team News and Predicted Lineup

Newcastle United head to Elland Road on Monday with a simple objective, keep the early momentum going under Matthias Jaissle. Two league matches into the new season, they are unbeaten, and while that hardly proves anything in September, it does matter. Results shape the mood, and right now Newcastle have avoided damage.

Last weekend, they came from 2-0 down to draw with Bournemouth . In midweek, they did enough to get past Millwall in the EFL Cup. That leaves Jaissle with a chance to secure Newcastle's first two away league wins at the start of a season since 1995-96. That is a useful marker, even if nobody sensible is reading too much into it this early.
