Leeds vs Newcastle: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

Leeds vs Newcastle predicted formations

Leeds host Newcastle at Elland Road on Monday, September 14 (3:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM CT / 12:00 PM PT).

Out for Leeds are forward Mateo Joseph (knee) and defender Joe Rodon (thigh), with Ilia Gruev a doubt (knee). Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Anton Stach and Jayden Bogle have all scored already this season and are the players most likely to shape Leeds’ afternoon at Elland Road. Out for Newcastle are defender Dan Burn (ankle/foot), forward William Osula (ankle/foot) and Joelinton Apolinario de Lira (thigh), with Ewen Jaouen a doubt (ankle/foot). Anthony Elanga, Yoane Wissa and Harvey Barnes carry the visitors’ attacking threat.

Both sides arrive on 5 points from 3 games, Leeds level with Newcastle despite a slightly lower goal difference, and neither has lost yet this season. That kind of parity, built on draws as much as wins, points toward a tense, low-scoring afternoon rather than an end-to-end shootout. Newcastle have shown they can trade goals, drawing 2-2 with both Bournemouth and Liverpool, but Leeds’ own results have been built on fine margins, and Elland Road should provide just enough of an edge for a single goal to settle it.

US viewers can watch Leeds vs Newcastle on NBC and Peacock.

Leeds to winTop pickLeeds sit level with Newcastle on 5 points from 3 games, and home advantage should be enough to break a stalemate other teams have found hard to crack.
1-0 LeedsA 1-0 scoreline fits a fixture where both sides have drawn twice in their last 3 outings, pointing to fine margins rather than goals.
NoNewcastle's defense has shipped goals in draws with Bournemouth and Liverpool, but Leeds' own low-scoring recent form points to only one side finding the net here.
Under 2.5 goalsTwo draws apiece in the last three rounds for both sides points to a tight, low-scoring game rather than an open one.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin to scoreCalvert-Lewin already has 1 goal from 6 shots, 3 of them on target, making him the most direct route to a Leeds goal in a tight game.

Our approach: weigh the current form, the confirmed absentees and each side's stat leaders against the market, rather than lean on gut feel alone.

    Leeds vs Newcastle Prediction

    Signal sees this finishing 1-0 to Leeds, a tight, low-event game settled by margins rather than fireworks. Both sides have shown they can go toe-to-toe without conceding heavily, and with Newcastle already missing key defensive personnel, Leeds’ home platform edges it.
