Leeds opened the Premier League season with a 1-0 win over Everton but then suffered consecutive defeats, including a 5-0 loss at Arsenal and an EFL Cup exit on penalties to Sheffield Wednesday. Daniel Farke described the cup exit as painful, citing a lack of ruthlessness as Leeds managed only one goal from 25 attempts in normal time. Leeds remain unbeaten in 21 successive league home outings under Farke (W18, D3), equalling his longest run, with a historic superior streak of 31 matches between May 1991 and November 1992. Recent head-to-heads show Leeds have lost only one of their last six Premier League meetings with Newcastle (W2, D3).
After marking their Premier League return with a 1-0 triumph over Everton in front of a buoyant Elland Road crowd, last season's Championship winners Leeds have since endured a downturn in fortunes, suffering defeats in each of their last two matches. The Whites were handed a harsh reality check last weekend when they slumped to a heavy 5-0 defeat at Arsenal, before bowing out of the EFL Cup in midweek against local rivals Sheffield Wednesday.
Daniel Farke admitted to feeling "hurt" and "embarrassed" by the cup exit, lamenting his side's lack of ruthlessness after they managed only one goal from 25 attempts in normal time. Determined to respond, Leeds return to the comforts of Elland Road, where they remain unbeaten in 21 successive league outings (W18, D3) under Farke - equalling their longest such run under his tenure.
