Newcastle v Leeds: Confirmed Premier League team updates as Woltemade makes his return
Newcastle United aims to secure their third consecutive Premier League victory when they face off against Leeds United. Here’s the complete team update.
Newcastle United is seeking a third consecutive win to rise up the Premier League standings against Leeds United.
Eddie Howe’s team has claimed victories over Burnley and Crystal Palace, positioning themselves in the top 10 and starting the evening just five points behind fourth-placed Liverpool.
A streak of five draws in six unbeaten matches has allowed Leeds to edge closer to safety, but they risk slipping back toward the relegation zone.

Newcastle team news
Newcastle has made two adjustments from the lineup that triumphed over Palace 2-0.
Yoane Wissa moves to the bench, with Nick Woltemade rejoining the starting squad after being a substitute for the past two matches.
The other alteration sees Harvey Barnes take over for Jacob Murphy on the right wing. Murphy had been a concern due to a hamstring issue but is fit enough to occupy a spot on the bench.
Newcastle XI: Pope; Miley, Schar, Thiaw, Hall; Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton; Barnes, Woltemade, Gordon.
Substitutes: Ramsdale, Trippier, Botman, J.Murphy, Livramento, Wissa, Willock, A.Murphy, Ramsey.
Leeds team news
Similar to his counterpart Howe, Leeds manager Daniel Farke also implements two changes.
Captain Ethan Ampadu is back from suspension, and Joe Rodon joins him in the starting team.
Sebastian Bornauw and Noah Okafor are both omitted from the starting XI following the 1-1 draw against Manchester United.
Leeds XI: Perri; Rodon, Bijol, Struijk; Justin, Ampadu, Gruev, Stach, Gudmundsson; Aaronson; Calvert-Lewin.
Substitutes: Darlow, Byram, Bornauw, Tanaka, Harrison, Gnonto, Okafor, Piroe, Nmecha.
