The Premier League is back in action with another round of fixtures this weekend as Newcastle United lock horns with Leeds United on Friday. Both teams have been inconsistent this season and have a point to prove in this game.
Although this match screams draw neither team has played bad, but also neither have scored many goals so were going out on a limb with our predictions.
Newcastle vs Leeds, 8pm GMT
Leeds United suffered a 3-0 defeat against Liverpool last time out and are yet to hit their stride this season. Marcelo Bielsa’s charges are in 17th place in the Premier League standings and cannot afford to drop points in this match.
Newcastle United have also struggled to impose themselves so far and were undone by a Cristiano Ronaldo brace last weekend. The Magpies have lost three out of their four league games and currently find themselves in the relegation zone.
