There’s no doubt about it, Leeds United need goals in their next three games if they’re to stay in the Premier League. The optics don’t look good after Monday night’s results, with wins for Everton and Nottingham Forest leaving Leeds in the relegation zone, two points adrift of safety with three games remaining.
As such, Sam Allardyce has a job on his hands to turn the Whites around and they’ll be looking to secure their first win in six games when they take on Newcastle United on Saturday afternoon. Newcastle are flying high in the Premier League and the three points could be vital when it comes to their hopes of playing Champions League football next season.
Leeds will need to be solid at the back to keep the likes of Callum Wilson and Alexander Isak quiet, but if they’re to breathe life into their hopes of survival they need to be ruthless in front of goal, too. As such, eyes will be on Allardyce’s striker selection for the game.
