Monday night football takes us to Elland Road, where Leeds host Newcastle in a Premier League clash between two sides who have made encouraging starts.
Leeds have surprised a few, picking up five points from their first three games, and Daniel Farke's men remain unbeaten at home for six months as they welcome the Toon.
Newcastle arrive in good heart, unbeaten in their opening five matches in all competitions this season, and Matthias Jaissle's side have found the net freely of late.
There is history here too, with Newcastle undefeated in their last six meetings with Leeds in all competitions, so the visitors travel with plenty of confidence.
Leeds vs Newcastle Form
Leeds have been one of the early surprises, taking five points from their opening three league games, and they are undefeated in 11 of their last 12 Premier League outings. There have been under 2.5 goals in five of their last six league games, a stubborn, low-scoring pattern. That form came crashing down midweek, though, as they were thumped by Chelsea in the Carabao Cup.
Newcastle carry real momentum, unbeaten in their opening five matches across all competitions and fresh from a Carabao Cup win at Millwall. In the league they have found their range, scoring at least two goals in each of their last three fixtures. Harvey Barnes and Yoane Wissa lead a direct, dangerous attack that has been clicking nicely this season.

Leeds vs Newcastle Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: This looks a tight one, and our prediction is a 1-1 draw. Leeds are hard to beat at Elland Road, but Newcastle's recent scoring form and strong head-to-head record mean the visitors should get on the scoresheet. Home advantage nudges Leeds ahead as slight favourites at 7/5 with Coral, yet a share of the spoils feels the fairest call.
Best Bets
Tarik Muharemovic to record over 0.5 shots on target in Player Shots On Target. Leeds carry significant threat from attacking set pieces, and starting centre-back Muharemovic is well placed to get on the end of one. With Leeds listed as a strength in attacking set pieces, a header or close-range effort from the defender is a genuine prospect in a fixture this physical.
Valentino Livramento to record over 2.5 tackles in Player Tackles. With Amar Dedic doubtful, Livramento is in line to start at right-back against Leeds's busy wide attack. Newcastle are listed as aggressive and play deep in their own half, so a full-back stepping up against Leeds's wide threat should rack up the tackles.
Leeds vs Newcastle Bet Builder
With a tight, physical fixture in prospect, our four-leg bet builder leans on the draw, both teams scoring, Harvey Barnes involvement and the cards that regularly flow in this fixture.
The draw makes sense with our 1-1 call, as Leeds stay stubborn at home and Newcastle keep landing blows against a side they are unbeaten against in their last six meetings.
Both teams to score fits the picture too, with Newcastle netting 2+ in each of their last three league games and Leeds dangerous from their set-piece threat.
Harvey Barnes to score or assist is well backed, having done exactly that in six of his last eight appearances against Leeds in the Premier League.
Cards complete it, with Leeds picking up 2+ cards in seven of their last eight matches against Newcastle, a spiky fixture that tends to test the referee.

Leeds vs Newcastle Talking Points
Both sides arrive off contrasting cup nights. Leeds were battered 6-3 by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the Carabao Cup, but with Farke resting his key men that result should not colour their league mood too much. Newcastle, meanwhile, eased into the fourth round with a 1-0 win at Millwall and travel north unbeaten this season. History favours the visitors, who have lost just two of their last 10 trips to Leeds, and referee Michael Salisbury will have his hands full with a fixture that reliably produces cards. Expect a stubborn, low-scoring affair given Leeds's home resilience and their recent run of tight, sub-2.5-goal games.
