Team News
Leeds Utd
Leeds midfielder Liam Bridcutt (Achilles) could return after missing the win over Preston.
Defender Liam Cooper is still serving his six-match ban and goalkeeper Marco Silvestri (knee) is out.
Seems like Roofey is fit and Sacko back in contention.
Newcastle Utd
Striker Dwight Gayle will not face Leeds because of a hamstring injury, which manager Rafael Benitez says is not as bad as feared.
Defender Ciaran Clark will also be absent as he is yet to return to training with a knee problem.

Match facts
◾Newcastle have taken 22 points from their last possible 27 against Leeds in league competition (W7 D1 L1).
◾The Whites have shipped 24 goals across their last 11 league games against Newcastle, conceding at least twice on nine occasions in this run.
◾Rafael Benitez's three previous games as manager against Leeds have all ended in wins, one each with Liverpool, Chelsea and Newcastle - however, this is his first home match against them.
◾Newcastle have opened the scoring more often than any other Championship team this season (29 times), yet they are coming up against the player to score the first goal more often than anyone else in Chris Wood (14).
◾Kemar Roofe scored in his last game against Preston, and has not scored in back to back league games for Leeds - he last did it in the EFL for Oxford in March 2016.
Tough...........really tough game but I've a sneaky feeling GM will have the lads well motivated for this one so I'm going for my usual 1-2 Scoreline Woody and Pontus to get the goals
Over to You..............Scorers, Predictions etc..............Keep it friendly ................................

Still buzzing from that. Really needed something and was so sweet to get that late equaliser. Seriously, what team spirit these guys have, never stop fighting.

Newcastle players appealed everytime we made a challenge the cheating sods. Then the unsporting taking the ball into the corner

Don't think it was, he put his head low, not a card for me

That argument doesn't wear with me. Take away the head and replace it with Pablos body and that challenge, studs up and high, is a straight red. It would have hit him hip height, maybe higher.
Intentional and very dangerous.

Did I mention I took the draw on 86 mins at 11/1.
Pity I wasn't braver with the outlay
