Leeds Host Newcastle With Both Sides Unbeaten in Premier League
Leeds United face Newcastle United at Elland Road on Monday night, with both clubs unbeaten after three Premier League games. Newcastle's Amar Dedic is doubtful after a hamstring injury.
Daniel Farke's Leeds have taken five points from their opening three league games. Their most recent league outing was a 1-1 draw at Brighton nine days ago, a match in which they had enough chances to win, according to TechRadar. Last Wednesday they lost 6-3 at Chelsea in a chaotic Carabao Cup third-round tie after going 2-0 up, despite Farke making eight changes to his starting line-up.
Ilia Gruev could return to the squad after missing the start of the season with a knee injury. Joe Rodon remains unavailable because of a hamstring problem. It remains to be seen whether any of the players given a start at Stamford Bridge did enough to keep their place at Elland Road.
Newcastle boss Matthias Jaissle made only three changes for his side's 1-0 Carabao Cup win at Millwall on Tuesday. Right-back Amar Dedic, a £30million summer signing, suffered a hamstring injury at The Den and is now doubtful for the trip to Leeds, a significant blow for the Magpies. Dedic's performances have helped Newcastle take five points from their first three Premier League matches, although they needed a late Jacob Ramsey equaliser to draw 2-2 at home to Bournemouth last Saturday. Deadline-day signing Matias Fernandez-Pardo is yet to start a game for his new club, having come off the bench against Bournemouth and Millwall.
