Leeds United team news: Predicted XI to face Newcastle – Pablo Hernandez OUT, Stuart Dallas back in contention

Garry Monk's Leeds United face their toughest test yet when Newcastle visit Elland Road on Sunday.

The in-form Whites will hope the international break has not affected their momentum - the West Yorkshire side were one of the Championship's form sides, winning seven of ten games to break into the top six.

A bumper crowd is expected at Elland Road, with tickets for the clash selling out in days and it promises to be a terrific atmosphere.

Former Swansea boss Monk, who is proving popular with the club's supporters, will have to make at least one change after confirming playmaker Pablo Hernandez has a hamstring problem, sustained in the win at Norwich.

They will, however, be boosted by the return of Northern Ireland midfielder Stuart Dallas, but it remains to be seen whether he will start.

Captain Liam Bridcutt remains sidelined, Eunan O'Kane is fit again and top scorer Chris Wood is available after returning from international duty with New Zealand unscathed.

Rafa Benitez was the Championship’s Manager of the Month for October and his Magpies side could move 11 points clear of third place with a win, providing results go their way.

So, in Hernandez's absence how will Monk's men line up?
