Follow live coverage as LeedsUnited Face Newcastle United in the premier league Today.
At both ends of the table it’s time for the crunch and the hosts know they need a win to keep their hopes of survival realistic with only three games left including this one. Leeds are two points adrift of 19th in the league and can put pressure on the likes of Leicester and Everton later in the weekend if they get a result here.
Newcastle, meanwhile, are third and need just seven points from four games to secure a place in the top four. They’ll see this game as a real chance to take a big step in that direction, although they need a time-out reaction after the recent loss to Arsenal.
We bring you all the action and updates from today’s game in the live blog below:
