Leeds United is seeking to break a six-game winless run in the Premier League against Newcastle United, their last victory dating back to January 2021. Newcastle, however, boasts a solid recent record at Elland Road, having lost only once in their last eight visits.
As of September 14, 2026, Leeds United is enjoying an impressive unbeaten start to the league season, a form not seen since the early 2000s. Meanwhile, Newcastle aims to secure consecutive away league victories for the first time since April 2025.
