Leeds United will arguably have one eye on Newcastle as they face Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday.<\/strong><\/p>\n Hillsborough will host Daniel Farke\u2019s team<\/a> on 26 August in the second round of the Carabao Cup, but their primary focus will undoubtedly be surviving Premier League relegation.<\/p>\n Leeds\u2019 5-0 defeat against Arsenal at the Emirates<\/a> on 23 August surely would have given the German manager a reality check about the task at hand.<\/p>\n Newcastle will travel to Elland Road 30 August, just before the international break, and their 3-2 defeat against Liverpool on 25 August at St James\u2019 Park left Eddie Howe with several headaches.<\/p>\n Anthony Gordon<\/a> was sent off in the defeat against Liverpool after his foul on Virgil van Dijk just before half-time.<\/p>\n Howe<\/a> has admitted that the 24-year-old\u2019s absence will be a \u201cbig blow\u201d for the Magpies as he will now miss the trip to Elland Road after serious foul play.<\/p>\n The Newcastle manager also admitted that Tonali and Joelinton\u2019s knocks don\u2019t look good, with both expected to be out for a while.<\/p>\n Speaking post-match at St James\u2019 Park, the Englishman said: \u201cSandro\u2019s doesn\u2019t look good, he was in quite a bit of pain. I don\u2019t know the full extent of his or Joelinton\u2019s injury, but they both look threatening for us in the essence that they could be out for a while. <\/p>\n \u201cOf course, Ants [Gordon] is going to be suspended, which is a big blow for us. Just reflecting on that, I thought there was no intent. People say it looks bad. I haven\u2019t seen it again. I\u2019ve seen a quick image of it. I thought he was trying to pull out of the tackle.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know with Joe and Sandro, it doesn\u2019t look good when a player comes off, especially because both looked in a little bit of pain, they\u2019d be huge blow for us if they\u2019re not available. Anthony will be suspended and Fabian had concussion, so not good.\u201d<\/p>\n Read More:<\/strong> Farke transfer wish shared after Leeds take summer spend past \u00a3100m<\/a><\/p>\n Leeds picked up three crucial points against Everton<\/a> on the opening day of the 2025\/26 campaign, setting the foundations for their survival.<\/p>\n However, fans will be concerned about their Premier League prospects after what they saw at the Emirates, and the Whites must bounce back quickly.<\/p>\n The last time the West Yorkshire outfit faced Newcastle was back in May 2023 at Elland Road<\/a>, which ended in a 2-2 draw, and the Peacocks have lost just once in their last six meetings.<\/p>\n Leeds\u2019 home form may be crucial to Premier League survival<\/a>, and supporters in LS11 will certainly be fully behind their team and manager, who will definitely be buoyed by the fact that the Magpies could potentially arrive in West Yorkshire without three key players, including Gordon, who was once described as \u201cunbelievable\u201d<\/a> by Bruno Guimaraes.<\/p>\n![\"Leeds](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/daniel-farke-2-1024x576.jpg\")
