Leeds vs Newcastle United Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2025-26

The previous meeting between these sides ended on level terms.

Leeds United are all set to host Newcastle United for the matchweek 3 fixture of the 2025-26 English Premier League. The interesting fixture between these clubs will take place at Elland Road.

Leeds United at home will be keen on using it to their advantage. The Peacocks won their opening league game against Everton, but then faced a dominating defeat at the hands of Arsenal in their second league fixture of the new season. They are coming in after securing a close win against Sheffield Wednesday in the EFL Cup.

Newcastle United are yet to secure a win in their new Premier League campaign. The Magpies were held to a draw in their opening game of the English Football First Division. In their very next game, Liverpool took them down in what was a close game. The Eddie Howe-led side will be looking to step up now.

Players to Watch

Joel Piroe (Leeds United)

Joel Piroe is going to play an important role in helping his side on the attacking front. Even though he is yet to find the net for his side in the new season. His performances helped Leeds United get to the Premier League this season. Piroe will be looking to step up here.

Bruno Guimaraes (Newcastle United)

The Brazilian midfielder was one of the goal scorers for his side in Newcastle’s 2-3 loss against the Reds in their previous league game. Bruno Guimaraes controls the midfield well and, at times, has been brilliant in the final third as well. It will be interesting to look at his performance here.

Mixed feelings. We will never give up under any circumstances. We deserved more, but many times football is not fair. We stick together. There is still a lot ahead, and your support will always be fundamental. Howay the lads.3️⃣9️⃣🖤🤍 pic.twitter.com/27vtsNahIr
