Newcastle United return to action when they take on Leeds United in the Premier League on Saturday.

Here are all the details you need to know about the game…


WHERE IS THE GAME TAKING PLACE?

Having suffered a rare home defeat when they lost to Arsenal on Sunday, Newcastle United head back out on the road to face Leeds United at Elland Road.

They will be hoping for more success in front of goal than in the reverse fixture on Tyneside on New Year’s Eve, with that game having finished in a goalless draw.

Their recent record at Elland Road is pretty good, with Newcastle having lost just two of their last eight matches at Leeds’ home ground. Last season’s game finished in a 1-0 win to the Magpies thanks to a free-kick from Jonjo Shelvey.


WHAT TIME IS KICK-OFF?

Saturday’s game kicks off at 12.30pm.


ARE TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE?

No – Sunday’s game is a complete sell-out, with Newcastle having sold their entire allocation of tickets for the away end at Elland Road.

The Magpies will be cheered on by a contingent of 2,900 travelling supporters.


IS THE GAME BEING TELEVISED OR STREAMED LIVE?

Yes, Saturday’s game is being televised live on BT Sport.

As a result of the game being broadcast live in the UK, there will be no domestic streaming available.

Radio commentary will be available on BBC Radio Newcastle and talkSPORT.


WHAT IS NEWCASTLE’S LIKELY LINE-UP?

Sean Longstaff is Newcastle’s key injury doubt ahead of Saturday’s game, with the midfielder having missed last weekend’s defeat to Arsenal because of a foot injury.

Scans have shown that Longstaff has not suffered a fracture, which would have ended his season, but it remains to be seen whether he is passed fit to start against Leeds.

Allan Saint-Maximin is pushing for a starting spot after returning as a substitute against Arsenal following his recovery from a hamstring issue.

Eddie Howe started Alexander Isak and Callum Wilson together for the first time against the Gunners and will have to decide whether to stick with that approach again against Leeds.

Newcastle (probable, 4-3-3): Pope; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn; Willock, Guimaraes, Joelinton; Almiron, Isak, Saint-Maximin.


HOW ARE LEEDS SHAPING UP?

Sam Allardyce’s first game as Leeds manager ended in defeat last weekend, with his side going down 2-1 at Manchester City, and other results have plunged the Yorkshire club deep into relegation trouble.

Leeds head into the weekend sitting in 19th position in the table, two points adrift of safety, with just three more games to play. After taking on Newcastle, Allardyce’s side will finish the campaign with matches against West Ham and Tottenham.

Allardyce dropped goalkeeper Ilan Meslier last weekend, and his replacement, Joel Robles, is set to continue in goal against Newcastle. Rodrigo scored after coming off the bench at the Etihad, and could well be set for a return to the starting side given Leeds’ desperate need for a victory.

Luis Sinisterra has been ruled out of the remainder of the season through injury, while Liam Cooper and Tyler Adams remain major doubts.

Leeds (probable, 4-2-3-1): Robles; Ayling, Kristensen, Wober, Firpo; McKennie, Roca; Gnonto, Rodrigo, Harrison; Bamford.
