We need to rip into them the same way we did against Watford and Real Madrid. If we do that, it's just a case of how many we get. It's really as simple as that.

Leeds are struggling this season and if we want to be champions, we have to get results against sides like this. They aren't great and I wouldn't be surprised to see them sit back.

Liverpool have a much trickier game against Newcastle. As someone else has, they haven't forgotten the 4-3 etc and Howe has got them playing a bit. Liverpool will probably win, but they won't have it easy and honestly Newcastle are one of those teams who are capable of making it very difficult for the opposition.

More like they'll roll over for the dippers and make it difficult for us.

Leeds fighting for their lives and ourselves playing a tough midweek european game doesnt bode well , hopefully we summon up one of our many heroic performances that have delivered league titles, one thing is certain our players will leave everything on the pitch .
Couldnt be more proud of this manager and group of players over the last few seasons and we have five games now to clinch yet another title , but as usual we will have VAR , PGMOL , the media , Sky and every other detractor to overcome the Dipper love-in.

Agree with every word. Need a performance similar to Everton away under Pellers and Newcastle away under Bobby. Clinical and resolute the watch words for every game now.
 
Think we'll see a few changes, just to freshen things up and with one eye on Wednesday night. I imagine Cancelo, Ake, Gundogan, Sterling and Grealish could all possibly come in.
 
Start the strongest 11, then if we are 2 to the good take Kev, Bernardo and Rodri off at around 55-60 min mark by then they would have no options but to come at us and we just need to counter.
 
Have watched the highlights of their past few league games and they're still incredibly open. The Palace highlights didn't contain a single Leeds chance. They beat Watford but capitalised on errors and still were quite open. Scraped past Norwich and came back against Wolves from 2-0 down and against ten men.

I think there's been a lot of luck to the change in results. Southampton should have beaten them comfortably at Elland Road but were wasteful.

Feeling more confident having seen those games. They may be looking to play a more compact game against us, but I don't think they'll be able to nail that after a few training sessions. It will be one of those games we have to be switched on to the counter attack but should dominate the ball. I think we'll win comfortably even with changes.

They’ll be playing without pressure, they’re on a roll, their fans are in 7th heaven. They’ll probably lose but I don’t think it will be because of a lack of effort

Hope you're right,all except the bit about the Dippers winning.

Do they really need rest? They played Tuesday and after tomorrow they play Wednesday. The schedule has been quite fortunate, Rodri and Kev were rested v Liverpool, Phil was given last Saturday. I think we're at the home straight so I'd like as strong a team as possible.

The difference between the two matches is that Leeds still need points, Newcastle will be in full beach mode. Without a doubt ours is the tougher of the two

Totally disagree. Newcastle are in great form and will be right up for it tomorrow. Their last 6 games at St James' Park... 6 wins.

Regarding Leeds it will be no means easy, however if we play our possession game the gaps will appear and should knock afew past their weak defence.
