Sam Allardyce takes charge of his first Leeds United home game on Saturday lunchtime and the stakes could barely be higher on what will be another huge weekend in the battle against the drop.
Newcastle United are the visitors and Allardyce knows that he needs a win if Leeds are to climb out of the drop zone and put the pressure back onto the rest of the teams in the relegation scrap ahead of the rest of the weekend's fixtures.
Allardyce's team selection will be key, with the new in charge making four changes for last weekend's defeat at Manchester City, with the decision to drop Illan Meslier to the bench the key talking point.

In his pre-match press conference on Thursday afternoon, Allardyce confirmed that he will still be without Liam Cooper, Stuart Dallas, Tyler Adams and Luis Sinisterra as he ran through the club's injury list.
With just three games remaining, Allardyce knows every minute counts and team selection will be vital, with questions of how to set up the defence and who gets the nod in attack among the key decisions he has to make.
