Simon Hooper served as the referee. Sam Allardyce, the manager of Leeds United, will be without Stuart Dallas (Femoral Fracture) and Luis Sinisterra (Ankle Injury).
With Joel Robles, R. Nissen Kristensen, Maximilian Wöber, Jnior Firpo, Luke Ayling, Adam Forshaw, Marc Roca, Jack Harrison, Weston McKennie, Wilfried Gnonto, and Patrick Bamford starting the first half, it is likely that The Whites will choose a 3-4-2-1 configuration this time.
Eddie Howe, the manager of Newcastle United, must deal with a number of absent players. Those that cannot be taken into consideration include Jamaal Lascelles (calf injury), Matty Longstaff (knee injury), and Sean Longstaff (knock injury).
According to our analysis, The Magpies might choose to go with a 4-3-3 formation and select Nick Pope, Kieran Trippier, Fabian Schär, Sven Botman, Dan Burn, Joelinton, Bruno Guimaraes, Joseph Willock, Jacob Murphy, Alexander Isak, and Callum Wilson. Leeds United can beat this Newcastle United club in this game, but a single goal is probably not going to be enough.
