Leeds drew 1-1 against Manchester United in their most recent fixture. The Peacocks are currently on a seven-match unbeaten run in the Premier League. However, their away form has been less impressive, as they sit in 18th position in the away standings, having won only one of their 10 away games.
The previous meeting between these two sides this season ended in a goalless draw.
Over the last six meetings, the head-to-head record is evenly split with 1 win for Newcastle, 1 win for Leeds, and 4 draws.

Newcastle vs Leeds Match Prediction
Newcastle appear to be building momentum at last, with back-to-back wins lifting them up the table and presenting a real opportunity to push toward Champions League contention — especially with another favourable fixture against Wolves to follow.
Despite their inconsistencies this season, Eddie Howe’s side have remained strong at St James’ Park, taking 17 points from the last 21 available at home, and that advantage could prove crucial again here.
Leeds arrive in improved form themselves, unbeaten in seven and now eight points clear of the relegation zone, showing far more resilience under pressure.
They also boast a surprisingly good recent record on Tyneside, avoiding defeat in their last four visits.
Even so, Newcastle’s home strength and renewed confidence may tilt this one in their favour in what looks likely to be a competitive contest.
