Last Saturday's win against West Ham United has taken some of the pressure off this weekend's fixture at Elland Road.
That's the case for Leeds United, at least, as the Whites are now nine points clear of the bottom three and up in 15th place. Should they beat Newcastle this weekend, fears of relegation will be almost completely assuaged, whilst a loss wouldn't drag them down into the mire in the way it might have done.
However, this fixture is enormous for Leeds' opponents, who are desperate for points to pull themselves out of the relegation places.
