Allardyce to haunt Newcastle again?
Joe Nelson, BBC Sport
Leeds manager Sam Allardyce served a short stint as Newcastle manager from May 2007 to January 2008.
Since that dismissal, which Allardyce labelled as a "massive knockback," he has enjoyed success against the Magpies.
His 13 Premier League victories over the Magpies is his best record against any team, with one of those being a notable 3-0 win as Sunderland manager in October 2015.
Allardyce has also won his first Premier League home game at five of his previous eight clubs (drawn one, lost two), as he prepares to take charge of Leeds at Elland Road for the very first time.
