Newcastle United v Leeds United

Newcastle winger Allan Saint-Maximin made his comeback as a substitute at the weekend but it's unclear if he's fit to start after his lengthy Covid-19 absence.

Leeds are boosted by the return of first choice goalkeeper Illan Meslier.

However, the Whites remain without Robin Koch and Gaetano Berardi, while Diego Llorente is not yet match-fit.

Five of Leeds' seven league wins have been against sides below them in the table
