Leeds United will be looking to round off the calendar year of 2022 with a win when they make the trip to Newcastle United. The Whites will face the most in-form team in the Premier League on New Year's Eve with the Magpies having won 10 of their last 11 matches in all competitions.
Newcastle have also lost just once in the league this season with none of those having come at St. James' Park, meaning Leeds will have their work cut out to get a result. The foundations of Newcastle's superb campaign so far has come from the fact they have managed to keep a very settled side.
And that starts in defence, with Nick Pope, Kieran Trippier, Fabian Schar, Sven Botman and Dan Burn making up an extremely solid back five. They have started all but four matches together, helping the Magpies boast the current best defensive record in the whole division with just 11 goals conceded.
