Newcastle United travel to Leeds United this Saturday hoping to gain three valuable points.
Leeds are already ten points ahead of United with any hope they would be dragged into a relegation battle seemingly fading - especially after the Yorkshire side beat high flying West Ham 3-2 last weekend.
United drew 1-1 with Watford in their last game in what was a bitterly disappointing result - and leaves Newcastle 19th in the table, two points from safety.
