Newcastle United are straight back into Premier League action this midweek, when they host Leeds United at St James' Park on Wednesday evening. The game comes just days after the 2-0 win over Crystal Palace, with Eddie Howe's side looking to make it three league wins on the bounce. Nick Woltemade and Harvey Barnes are pressing for a start, while Howe will have to decide what role Lewis Miley plays, should Livramento or Trippier start at right-back. Leeds head north in good form after a seven-match unbeaten run which has seen them twice hold Liverpool and beat Chelsea 3-1. Recap what Eddie Howe had to say below.
