Leeds and Newcastle have made identical starts to the new Premier League season, with five points on the board from three games.
This looks set to be a closely fought Monday night affair in West Yorkshire and, with a considerable amount of attacking talent on show on both sides, goals are expected.
Team news
Centre-back Joe Rodon is out for Leeds with a hamstring injury but midfielder Ilia Gruev is expected to be fit enough to return to the squad.
Mateo Joseph, however, remains sidelined long term for the hosts.
For the Magpies, full-back Amar Dedic is a major doubt after being forced off in the Carabao Cup win at Millwall.
The visitors are still without injured trio Dan Burn, Joelinton and William Osula.

Prediction
Leeds and Newcastle should both be pleased with their opening three weeks' work in the Premier League and a draw at Elland Road on Monday would only add to the feel-good atmosphere around both clubs.
Leeds remains a tough away day for the very best in the top flight, so there would be no shame if the Magpies secured only a point here, even if their ambitions might stretch a little higher than their hosts, who finished down in 14th place in the top flight last season.
Identical records of one win and two draws point to two similarly matched teams and Monday's game may play out like so.
Adding in Harvey Barnes to score increases the odds with the Newcastle winger tipped to shine at Elland Road.
Barnes has enjoyed himself with the Magpies in the post-Eddie Howe era, scoring three goals in five appearances in all competitions already this season.
