Both seeking to return to winning ways , Leeds United and Newcastle United will lock horns at Elland Road in the Premier League on Saturday evening.
Daniel Farke’s hosts made a dream start to life back in the top-flight by claiming a narrow 1-0 win over Everton on matchday one.
However, the Whites came crashing back down to earth with an almighty bump when suffering a 5-0 thrashing away at Arsenal last weekend.
On top of that, Leeds have since been dumped out of the EFL Cup by Yorkshire rivals Sheffield Wednesday, missing all three of their penalties in the shootout that followed a 1-1 draw inside 90 minutes.
As for Newcastle, they will have to lift themselves up off the canvas after suffering a gut-wrenching 3-2 defeat at home to Liverpool on Monday night.
That bruising setback means Eddie Howe’s side are still searching for their first win of the season, having kicked off their campaign with a goalless draw away at Aston Villa.
How the bookies view it: Toon to triumph
Boylesports’ odds suggest that Newcastle will claim their maiden Premier League win of the season on Saturday evening, with the visitors 21/20 to emerge from Elland Road victorious.
Leeds are 23/10 outsiders on Boylesports as they look to make it two home wins from two while the draw has been chalked up at 5/2 with the same firm.
Head to head: Another stalemate in store?
Three of the last four Premier League meetings between the pair have seen the points shared, including a 2-2 draw the last time the teams crossed paths at Elland Road. The same scoreline on Saturday evening can be backed at 12/1 on Boylesports.
Players to watch: Harvey to hit the target?
Harvey Barnes has hit the target at least once in six of his previous 10 Premier League appearances, making the Newcastle forward an attractive option to deliver a minimum of one on-target effort here at 4/5 on Bet 365.
After making the switch from Newcastle to Leeds over the summer, Sean Longstaff could start against his former club on Saturday evening. The ex-Magpies midfielder is as big as 10/1 on Boylesports for an anytime strike during this contest.
Predicted line-ups
Leeds will be unable to call upon the services of injured duo Ao Tanaka and Ethan Ampadu, with both players facing an extended period of time on the sidelines.
Anthony Gordon will miss out for Newcastle after receiving a straight red card against Liverpool while Fabian Schar, Joelinton and Sandro Tonali all came off injured last time out.
Leeds: Perri; Bogle, Rodon, Phillips, Gudmundsson; Gruev, Stach, Longstaff; James, Piroe, Gnonto
Newcastle: Pope; Trippier, Botman, Burn, Hall; Bruno Guimaraes, Miley, Ramsey; Elanga, Osula, Barnes
Anything else catch the eye?
With a keenly-contested affair anticipated at Elland Road on Saturday evening, five or more cards holds appeal at even-money (1/1) on Bet 365.
Five yellows and one red card were flashed during Newcastle's aforementioned 3-2 defeat at home to Liverpool earlier this week.
Elsewhere, Newcastle defender Dan Burn looks worthy of longshot material in the anytime goalscorer market at 9/1 on Boylesports.
Leeds looked very shaky at defending set pieces away at Arsenal last weekend, making the Geordie giant the prime candidate to capitalise on the hosts' aerial vulnerability.
