Leicester vs Newcastle Tips

Tip 1

Newcastle dealt well with the comedown from their EFL Cup final euphoria, beating Brentford 2-1 on Wednesday in a battling success.

They should be too strong for a Leicester side who have now lost 14 of their last 15 games and look destined for relegation.

The Foxes have failed to score in their last seven games, all defeats, but Newcastle are not watertight, particularly on the road.

The Magpies have conceded in seven of their last eight games in all competitions and may suffer a similar fate here.

The visitors are dealing with a number of injuries too but they should be able to secure a crucial three points, with both teams also fancied to find the net.

Tip 2

An injury to Anthony Gordon has given a chance for Newcastle’s Harvey Barnes to impress and he has done just that.

The former Leicester man has two assists in his last two league games but has also netted five times this term and could add to that tally against his former side.

Leicester Team News & Predicted Lineup

Issahaku Fatawu is a long-term absentee.

Harry Winks has reportedly had a bust up with manager Ruud van Nistelrooy and looks likely to miss out as a result.

Mads Hermansen has been a rare positive for Leicester in a poor season and the goalkeeper should be busy once again in this game.

Expected starting XI for Leicester:
(3-4-2-1) Hermansen; Thomas, Faes, Okoli; Justin, Ndidi, Soumare, Kristiansen; El Khannouss, Ayew; Vardy

Newcastle Team News & Predicted Lineup

Lewis Hall, Jamaal Lascelles and Sven Botman are all out with long-term issues.

Joelinton, Alexander Isak, Kieran Trippier, Anthony Gordon are all nursing knocks and face late fitness tests.

Eddie Howe may use this game as a chance to rest some of his usual starters before a frantic run in.

Sandro Tonali impressed with a goal against Brentford last time out. He and Bruno Guimaraes have formed a formidable partnership in Newcastle’s midfield and the Italy midfielder could star once more.

Expected starting XI for Newcastle:
(4-3-3) Pope; Trippier, Schar, Burn, Livramento; Guimaraes, Tonali, Willock; Murphy, Wilson, Barnes
