Newcastle United team news: Predicted XI as Rafa Benitez’s Magpies face Leeds at Elland Road – including Jonjo Shelvey
Rafa Benitez will be hoping the Manager of the Month curse does not strike when his Newcastle side travel to Leeds on Sunday.
The Spanish boss was handed the award this week and, in the past, it has been unlucky to some bosses.
The Magpies currently lead the Championship, having lost just one of their last ten, as they look to book an instant return to the top flight.
Midfielder Jonjo Shelvey is available, as he awaits a personal hearing for an FA charge.
Winger Rolando Aarons is unavailable, after an ACL injury ruled him out for the rest of the season.
The Tynesiders will come up against Garry Monk's in-form Leeds side, who entered the play-off places after beating Norwich last time out.
So, which XI will Benitez select to line up at Elland Road?
