Newcastle United welcome Leeds United to St. James' Park on Tuesday night, as they look to arrest a recent slide which has seen them lose four Premier League games in a row.
Newcastle played the only Premier League game of the weekend, as they went to Aston Villa and lost 2-0 thanks to goals from Ollie Watkins and Bertrand Traore.
Newcastle have just 19 points from 19 games, and are in 16th place in the Premier League.
They are still seven points above the relegation zone for the moment, but Steve Bruce will know that his side have to arrest this slide so that they don't get sucked into the relegation battle.
Leeds United have also been on a poor run of form. They have lost their last two league games and fell to a 3-0 defeat against Crawley Town in the FA Cup.
Neal Maupay scored the only goal as Leeds lost 1-0 to Brighton and Hove Albion in their last Premier League game.
Newcastle United vs Leeds United Head-to-Head
