Mark Lawrenson makes his prediction for Leeds United vs Newcastle

  Leeds United are preparing to host Newcastle in the Premier League midweek game on Wednesday, December 16. Ahead of the game, BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson has stated his prediction. "Leeds are naive at the back and that is going to cost them at times this season. "Yes, they created some good opportunities against West Ham on Friday night but the flipside of that was that the Hammers were able to play right through them. "I don't see this Newcastle side doing that to them though, so it might just come down to whether Marcelo Bielsa's team can take their chances this time."
