Newcastle United can sit back and watch the Premier League action unfold this weekend, with Matthias Jaissle’s side not in action until they travel to Leeds United on Monday night.
The Magpies have made an unbeaten start to the new campaign, winning at Tottenham Hotspur and drawing with Liverpool and Bournemouth in the Premier League, as well as beating Championship sides West Bromwich Albion and Millwall in the Carabao Cup.
Leeds were thumped 6-3 at Chelsea in the Carabao Cup in midweek but remain unbeaten in the league on the same number of points as Newcastle (5) after following up their opening day win at Nottingham Forest with consecutive 1-1 draws against Brentford and Brighton & Hove Albion.
There is still a very long way to go - 35 matches to be precise - but both teams can be encouraged by their strong starts to the season and begin to wonder what can be achieved.
