Sam Allardyce has made three changes to his Leeds United line-up to take on Newcastle United at Elland Road this afternoon. The Whites know that a win would be enough to take them out of the Premier League’s bottom three, for a couple of hours at the very least.
Defeat, though, and they risk being cut even further adrift by the end of the weekend, with just two games left to play. Allardyce has come to the end of his first full week in charge of Leeds and he has been encouraged with what he’s seen so far.
Joel Robles gets the nod once more after replacing Illan Meslier between the sticks last time out. Robin Koch returns to the line-up, but it remains to be seen where he will be asked to play in Allardyce’s 4-3-3 system.
