follow live coverage leeds united face Newcastle United In Premier League Today.
It is crunch time at both ends of the table and the hosts know they need a win to keep their survival hopes realistically alive with only three matches remaining. Leeds are 19th in the league, two points from safety, and could put pressure on the likes of Leicester and Everton later in the weekend if they get a result here.
Meanwhile, Newcastle are third and need just seven points from four games to ensure a top-four finish – they will see this game as a real opportunity to take a big step in that direction , although needing a reaction after being defeated by Arsenal in the previous time-out.
We’ll bring you all the action and updates from today’s game in the live blog below:

Penalty to Newcastle! Newcastle work it quickly uphill and it’s headed into the box for Isaac. Firpo mistimes a slip, which allows the forward to reach the ball and the referee again points to the spot, with Weber having fouled him.

Double Save! Bamford steps up to take the spot-kick, but it’s not the best penalty. It’s at a comfortable height for Pope, who, going the right way, pushes it away. Bamford gives chase, but the keeper reacts quickly to get it off his toe and out for a corner. Still 1-0!
