Newcastle United Preview – Can Magpies turn things around?
After having lost three of their opening four games of this new Premier League season, Newcastle United find themselves sitting second from bottom in the English top flight and they desperately need a result here on Friday night against fellow strugglers, Leeds United.
Early defeats against West Ham, Aston Villa and Manchester United have dumped Newcastle United into the early relegation places and manager Steve Bruce is now under pressure for his side to start performing.
With just three wins out of their last 15 home games at St James’ Park, The Magpies look to have their work cut out here to even get a point while another loss could see the axe fall on Bruce’s head.
Leeds United Preview – Can Leeds increase Magpies woes?
Leeds United have only fared marginally better than their hosts as the visitors have picked up two points from their first four games of the Premier League season, thanks to draws with Everton and Burnley.
However, heavy losses against Manchester United 5-1 and Liverpool 3-0 have also resulted in Leeds occupying a place in the lower reaches of the division but results away from home do give Leeds some encouragement.
Leeds have lost just two of their last seven away games and includes wins at Fulham, Manchester City, Burnley and Southampton, while their last trip up to the north east saw Leeds run out 2-1 winners.
