Leeds boss Sam Allardyce admits scoring first will be key against Newcastle on Saturday.
Leeds need a result to kickstart their late season survival push.
Allardyce said: "Newcastle have got some talented players on the front three, with more to come on.
"They have a big goalscorer in Callum Wilson, which we have to manage, but then at the other end you can get in behind them and down the side of Newcastle if you can break through their midfield.
"It depends on our quality when we get to the final third and what we decide to do with that final ball.
"Hopefully, we can have something to go forward with because I would like us to score the first goal if we can, that is very important. Getting the first goal would be a big lift. I'm not saying we would win but to go a goal down would be a very difficult job, mentally, for the players to come back from.
"If that is the case they will have to try and do it, but what they won't have to do is go daft like they have done before, leave the back door open and concede two, three and four again."
