Leeds team news

Having been named on the bench in the Carabao Cup, James Trafford, Jayden Bogle, Ao Tanaka, Gabriel Gudmundsson, Anton Stach, Noah Okafor and Dominic Calvert-Lewin should all go back in the starting line-up.

Joe Rodon remains sidelined with a hamstring injury, and summer signing Nico Elvedi will continue to deputise in the back three.

Daniel James reported discomfort in his back and hamstring during the warm-up at Brighton last weekend, but was able to play over an hour at Stamford Bridge.

Midfielder Ilia Gruev hasn’t featured since suffering a meniscus injury in April, but he is back in training and could be in the matchday squad against Newcastle.

Mateo Joseph is a long-term absentee after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury during his loan spell at Mallorca last season.

Newcastle team news

Amar Dedic was substituted at half-time against Millwall due to a hamstring injury, although Matthias Jaissle has suggested that the issue isn’t too serious.

His withdrawal allowed Tino Livramento to get 45 minutes under his belt after returning from a calf problem, and the England international will start at right-back if Dedic isn’t available.

Back-up goalkeeper Ewen Jaouen missed the Carabao Cup win after turning his ankle in training, but could be back on the bench against Newcastle.

Dan Burn and Joelinton are yet to feature this season due to ankle and quad injuries respectively, with the pair not expected to return until after the international break.

William Osula is no longer wearing a protective boot as he steps up his recovery from a foot injury, but this game will come a bit too soon for him.
