Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe is expecting a difficult game when Leeds United head north up the A1 to take on the high flying Magpies. The Toon have been one of the standout performers since the turn of the year and they've carried that on into the current campaign.
Howe's side have lost just once this season - a 2-1 defeat on the road to Liverpool - having won six games on the bounce heading into the New Year's Eve clash. The Magpies made light work of Leicester City in their first game since the Premier League restart, putting any doubts over their ability to one side.
However, Howe is under no illusion how difficult the game against Leeds will be, saying he's been impressed by what he's seen from Jesse Marsch's side so far this season.
