Latest Leeds United vs Newcastle squad information
Leeds are without midfielders Ethan Ampadu and Ao Tanaka with knee injuries following the international break. New signing Noah Okafor will be assessed ahead of the game after picking up a groin problem on Wednesday. Sean Longstaff could make his first Premier League start for Leeds after joining from Newcastle, with new signing Anton Stach – who has created seven chances, the most in the league so far – and Ilia Gruev both likely to be options in midfield.
Striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who came on for more than 30 minutes and missed a penalty against Sheffield Wednesday, could be considered for a start. Otherwise, Joel Piroe or Lukas Nmecha will take the centre-forward position.
For Newcastle, Isak remains absent, while Gordon is suspended for three games after a red card. Joelinton (groin) is a definite no-show, while Sandro Tonali (shoulder) is racing to recover. Centre-back Fabian Schar has cleared concussion protocol and is fit to play.
New signings Malick Thiaw and Jacob Ramsey are both likely to start for the first time, while Will Osula – who scored a late equaliser against Liverpool – is competing for a starting spot in attack to replace Gordon.

Latest Leeds United vs Newcastle football review
Leeds kicked off their return to the Premier League with a 1-0 win over Everton in a raucous atmosphere at Elland Road. However, that joy quickly faded as they suffered a heavy 5-0 defeat to Arsenal last weekend, before being knocked out of the League Cup by Yorkshire rivals Sheffield Wednesday. The game finished 1-1 after 90 minutes and Leeds lost 3-0 on penalties, despite their opponents fielding a young side.
Manager Daniel Farke admitted he was “hurt” and “ashamed” after the Hillsborough defeat, and regretted that his team failed to capitalise on their chances, scoring just one goal from 25 shots.
Leeds will be quick to regain confidence when they return to Elland Road, where they are currently unbeaten in 21 league games (W18 D3) – their best run under Farke. The last time Leeds had a longer unbeaten run at home was between May 1991 and November 1992 (31 games).
Leeds also have a decent record against Newcastle, having lost just one of their last six Premier League meetings (W2 D3). Newcastle are one of only two teams Farke has faced more than once in the Premier League without ever losing (W1 D1), alongside Bournemouth – who were then managed by current Newcastle manager Eddie Howe.
Newcastle's season started poorly. After a goalless draw with Aston Villa, they lost 3-2 to Liverpool in a tense encounter at St James' Park. Despite losing Anthony Gordon to a red card and falling 2-0 early, Newcastle equalised, but eventually succumbed to a 100th-minute goal from young talent Rio Ngumoha.
Howe is proud of his players' fighting spirit and hopes to see the same energy against Leeds. Newcastle are also looking to add at least one more striker before the transfer window closes.
Newcastle have reason to be confident at Elland Road: they have won seven of their 14 Premier League games there – their best away win ratio against any team (10 or more). Newcastle have also won their last eight Premier League games against newly promoted sides, scoring at least three goals in seven of those games. That run has only been beaten in a run of nine games between December 1994 and October 1996.
