Newcastle United face a Leeds side that have been served a bit of a reality check after a decent December.
Marcelo Bielsa's team have been left to stew in their own juices after losing to Brighton in the Premier League and then Crawley in the FA Cup.
A 10-day gap since their last game means they come into this fixture a little cold and on the back of three defeats.
Lee Ryder's prediction
It was nowhere near enough to get a result, but Newcastle had a better feel about them in the second half at Aston Villa.
They will still need to sharpen up in the final third but I think they have a moderate chance of finally ending their poor run.
To get it they'll need a big improvement on the first half against Villa and need to find some urgency but I think they can overcome their troubles back at St James' Park.
