£20m star drops out as 11-goal man returns: Newcastle United’s predicted starting XI v Leeds

Newcastle United’s predicted starting XI versus Leeds United – including one change.

Newcastle United’s 2-0 defeat to Premier League title-chasing Arsenal could tempt Eddie Howe to name changes to his starting XI to take on Leeds United.

With Sean Longstaff missing for a third straight game because of a foot injury, it’s likely Joelinton will remain in the centre of the park alongside Joe Willock and Bruno Guimaraes.

With Joelinton asked to do a job elsewhere, the question is, who starts on the left wing?

Last week, Howe opted to field Alexander Isak in that position with Callum Wilson leading the line. However, the Magpies’ head coach has other options such as Allan Saint-Maximin, Miguel Almiron and January signing Anthony Gordon.
