Leeds welcome Newcastle to Elland Road on Saturday evening in front of the Sky Sports cameras. Both sides will be looking to bounce back from defeats in round two, in particular the visitors, who have yet to win in the Premier League.
Leeds may have started life back in the Premier League with a victory but were brought back down to earth after a 5-0 defeat on the road against Arsenal. And while their season won't be defined away to title contenders, the manner of the loss will concern those travelling Leeds fans.
Elland Road will be their best chance to bag as many wins as possible, and having beaten Everton to nil, the home fans will look to make it as intimidating as they can when the Toon Army arrive in town.
Daniel Farke has made it clear he still wants more bodies in before the transfer deadline slams shut - and the German will be hoping there's a face or two with him in time for this fixture.
Not only after Newcastle struggling to cope without Alexander Isak who continues to push for a move to Liverpool, but Eddie Howe will be without two key players in Yorkshire.
Anthony Gordon's red card vs Liverpool will see the former Everton player miss out, while Brazilian midfielder Joelinton came off in the same match with an injury likely to keep him out of this match.
Yet to get up a running, their performance with 10 men against Liverpool was very impressive - yet football can be cruel, and that defeat will be a difficult one to shift out of their minds with everything else going on at the the club.
These two sides haven't met since a 2-2 draw back in 2023, a season where Leeds were relegated to the Championship while Newcastle secured Champions League football.
Both sides have only won one each when it comes to their last five meetings, while Newcastle have won two of their last five matches at Elland Road back in 2022 and 2016.
With both sides looking to bounce back after defeats in round two, many might believe it could be a cagey affair. However, one of those is not our football tipster. Let’s look at the Premier League betting odds.
Newcastle may be without key men for their trip to Elland Road, but they've shown far more than Leeds to suggest a win is around the corner.
They shot themselves in the foot when Gordon was sent off at 1-0 vs Liverpool, but deservedly fought back to almost claim a very strong point against the champions. They didn't get the luck required to see out the match, but expect them to come out fighting this weekend.
The team - Isak aside - are together. The players are fighting for Eddie Howe - and Newcastle, sooner than later, will turn it around. Jacob Ramsey can come into the starting XI, while William Osula will be in a confident mood after bagging against Liverpool.
Leeds' performance - and result - vs Arsenal was concerning. They were fortunate to get the win against Everton after a controversial penalty, but going forward it's difficult to see where the goals are coming from.
Although both teams head into this match after a defeat, Newcastle have shown enough in the final third that can brush Leeds to one side.
