Newcastle United Faces Liverpool, Leeds in Early Premier League Matches

Leeds United will host Newcastle United at Elland Road aiming for a second consecutive home Premier League win, having secured a late penalty victory in their season opener. Newcastle, who drew their first match against Aston Villa, have struggled away from home, going winless in their last four away league games. Leeds are nearly at full strength except for Sebastiaan Bornauw, while Newcastle face potential absences with Alexander Isak unlikely to play and Joe Willock injured. Historically, Newcastle have been unbeaten in their last four encounters with Leeds, but most of those matches ended in draws. Meanwhile, Liverpool will face a challenging away game at Newcastle's St James' Park in their second fixture of the 2025/26 season, with a two-week international break following. Newcastle are preparing for competitive matches that test their resilience both at home and away, amid squad uncertainties and mixed recent form.
