Saturday 12.30pm BT Sport 1 Venue Elland Road Last season Leeds 0 Newcastle 1
Sam Allardyce arrived at St James’ Park for his May 2007 unveiling as Newcastle’s manager by helicopter. Eight underwhelming months later, Big Sam was sacked – and immediately had to hand his top-of-the-range company car to security, leaving him requiring a lift home to County Durham in his press officer’s somewhat more modest vehicle. Allardyce’s hefty payoff from Mike Ashley, Newcastle’s then-owner, enabled him to buy a lavish villa on Spain’s Costa Blanca, swiftly dubbed ‘Casa St James’ but the current Leeds manager has not forgotten what he describes as a “massive, massive career setback”. Allardyce has played down any talk of old scores being settled when Eddie Howe’s Champions League-chasing team visit Elland Road on Saturday but there is little doubt that Allardyce would enjoy sticking a metaphorical two fingers in the directions of those travelling Newcastle fans whose lack of enthusiasm for his tactics arguably prompted that dismissal. Much more importantly, this is a game Leeds surely cannot afford to lose – and quite possibly need to win – if they are to avoid falling into the Championship. Louise Taylor
