Leeds United vs Newcastle on TV is the question filling every Whites group chat this morning, with Daniel Farke’s side back in Premier League action under the Elland Road lights tonight.
Leeds United Vs Newcastle On TV: The Coverage Details
Leeds have been handed the Premier League’s standalone Monday night slot, which in the UK belongs to Sky Sports — Monday Night Football is a Sky pick, and that slot is traditionally an 8pm start. Existing subscribers can stream the game through Sky Go or NOW rather than sitting in front of the telly. For the confirmed kick-off time and full channel listing, the Yorkshire Evening Post has published its coverage guide for tonight’s fixture.
Why This One Matters
Both clubs arrive on five points from their opening three league games, so there is a genuine early-season marker on the line. Newcastle are a side in transition: Eddie Howe’s era is over, Matthias Jaissle has taken charge, and Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimaraes and Anthony Gordon have all moved on. Farke, for his part, admitted before the game that he has never met his opposite number — “I haven’t met him yet, never before, so that will be also for me the first time.”
Team News To Watch
Leeds are without Joe Rodon, who limped out of the Brentford draw with what the YEP describes as a serious hamstring problem. Newcastle have their own concern, with the same paper reporting that £30m signing Amar Dedic is a major doubt. Our predicted Leeds XI for the Newcastle game runs through how Farke might set up.
The Whites need a response, too. That four-game unbeaten start ended emphatically in a 6-3 Carabao Cup defeat at Chelsea, after which Farke held a long squad meeting to address exactly what went wrong.
