Leeds United vs Newcastle United team news as Joe Willock in for Sean Longstaff

Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe handed Joe Willock a start at Elland Road as he looked to stop the rot for the relegation haunted Magpies.

Howe named an attacking side with the return of the former Arsenal midfielder supplemented with Allan Saint-Maximin, Chris Wood and Ryan Fraser.

Jamaal Lascelles also kept his place in the line-up while Paul Dummett started back to back games.

Howe dropped Sean Longstaff after the 1-1 draw with Watford last weekend.

He also named Dwight Gayle on the bench after the striker returned from injury while Miguel Almiron was overlooked from the start once again.

Newcastle went into the game under extra pressure after Norwich City's 3-0 win at Watford which put a four point gap between the two sides.

United will jet out to the Middle East for a sunshine training trip to Jeddah after the game.
