Leeds United will host Newcastle United at Elland Road today, September 14, 2026, in the final match of Premier League Matchweek 4. Both sides enter the game unbeaten in their opening three league matches, with five points each.
Leeds have made a positive return to the Premier League, recording one victory and two draws so far. However, their confidence suffered a setback in midweek when they surrendered a two-goal lead before losing 6–3 to Chelsea in the Carabao Cup. Manager Daniel Farke will now want his players to respond strongly in front of their home supporters.
Newcastle have also started the league season with one win and two draws. The Magpies are unbeaten in five competitive matches under new manager Matthias Jaissle, who replaced Eddie Howe during the summer. Newcastle’s early performances have shown signs of the high-intensity style Jaissle wants to establish at the club.
Newcastle will be encouraged by their recent cup result, having defeated Millwall 1–0 to advance in the Carabao Cup. Joe Willock scored the decisive goal late in the match.
Leeds will look to Dominic Calvert-Lewin for attacking inspiration. The striker has already scored twice in the Premier League this season and has a strong scoring record against Newcastle. Meanwhile, Newcastle will hope players such as Anthony Elanga and Harvey Barnes can provide the attacking threat.
The two teams are level on points, making the encounter particularly important as both clubs attempt to establish themselves near the upper half of the Premier League table. Newcastle currently sit 10th on goal difference, while Leeds are 11th.
The match is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. BST at Elland Road. With both teams still unbeaten in the league, the game is expected to be closely contested.
