Monk should give these 3 Leeds stars a chance against Newcastle

Souleymane Doukara

Forward Souleymane Doukara came off the bench to net his sixth Championship goal of the campaign against Preston, and it may be enough to see him clinch a 17th league start of the season against Newcastle.

The 25-year-old has been an excellent alternative to in-form striker Chris Wood this term, but with the New Zealand international being in such great form, it’s been tough for Doukara to command a regular starting place.

However, Wood has failed to net in any of the three games since the international break, and with Leeds in serious need of goals to maintain their top six place, Doukara may come into the starting eleven to give Wood further help and reinforcements upfront against the Magpies.
