Leeds United and Newcastle United will collide this weekend in a vital Premier League clash for both clubs.
Leeds Form GuideThe introduction of Sam Allardyce has led to mixed reviews at Elland Road. Some see him as the saviour, and others believe the first team is too far gone. Whatever the case may be, we are well and truly down to the nitty-gritty. There are just a handful of games left with two relegation spots to fill, and very few would be surprised if Leeds were one of the sides in them.
A 1-1 draw at home to Leicester gave Leeds some hope, but a 4-1 loss away at Bournemouth swiftly removed any optimism. Then, in the first appearance of Big Sam, they fought valiantly but still came up short in a 2-1 defeat away at Manchester City.
Newcastle Form GuideAfter a truly remarkable season, which has included a trip to Wembley, Newcastle United are now setting their sights on something that seemed fairly unlikely back in August - Champions League football. They’ve got the squad to do it, they’ve got the confidence to do it, and now they just need to execute in the next handful of games in the way that many know they can.
A stunning run of three wins gave the Magpies real hope in the top four race as they beat Tottenham 6-1, Everton 4-1 and Southampton 3-1. Unfortunately, that came to an end when they were beaten fairly soundly by Arsenal in a 2-0 defeat.

Match PredictionUnder the new regime, we expect to see Leeds take a very different approach than usual in the name of getting a positive result. While that may work against some teams, their opponents this weekend are no joke - which is why we’re going to be backing a Newcastle win.
