\nThere\u2019s a feast of Championship action on Good Friday, but the headline fixture is the evening game, which sees Newcastle host playoff chasing Leeds at St. James\u2019 Park. Newcastle currently sit second in the table, two points behind Brighton, while Leeds are sat in fifth with 72 points, five ahead of Fulham in seventh place.<\/p>\n

Last weekend didn\u2019t go to plan for Rafa Benitez and the Magpies, who went into it top of the league. However, they lost to Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 and also lost leading scorer Dwight Gayle to a hamstring injury. Losing Gayle is a big blow for Newcastle, as the striker scored twice in Newcastle\u2019s 2-0 victory over Leeds at Elland Road earlier this season.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Leeds beat Preston 3-0 in their game last weekend and also boast the Championship\u2019s top goalscorer, Chris Wood, in their ranks. Last week\u2019s win over Preston ended a run of two straight defeats for Gary Monk\u2019s team, who have also beaten Championship leaders Brighton in the last month.<\/p>\n

This top of the table clash should see some goals, however you wonder where Newcastle\u2019s threat will come from with Dwight Gayle missing out. Leeds have Chris Wood, who\u2019s shown how capable he is this season. A high scoring draw looks a likely outcome here.<\/p>\n
