Leeds United make the trip to St James' Park on Sunday to face a Newcastle United side that, like Farke's men, still has plenty to play for in the race for European football.

Daniel Farke is expected to make at least one change to the side that drew with Manchester City, with Mateo Joseph likely to continue leading the line in Joel Piroe's continued absence.

Newcastle come into the match on the back of consecutive wins and will provide a stern test for a Leeds side looking to build on their result against City.

Kick-off is scheduled for 5:30pm BST at St James' Park, with the match available live on domestic television.
