Leicester vs Newcastle Premier League match
preview
Friday night football returns to the Premier
League this week as Leicester host Newcastle United at the King Power Stadium.
Newcastle suffered a 1-0 defeat at home to
Crystal Palace last weekend, conceding a late penalty scored by Luka
Milivojevic.
The defeat saw Newcastle drop down to 15th in
the table. Rafa Benitez’s side are seven points above the relegation zone with
five matches remaining. It is worth noting, however, that they have played more
matches than the three teams directly below them.
Leicester moved up to 7th with a 4-1 over
already-relegated Huddersfield on Saturday. Youri Tielemans opened the scoring
for Brendan Rodgers’ side. Jamie Vardy (2) and James Maddison were also on the
scoresheet.
The Foxes are tied on 47 points with Wolves,
but have played a game more than them.
Leicester and Newcastle have met 23 times in
Premier League history, with Newcastle winning 10 and losing 8.
Leicester won the reverse fixture 2-0 at St. James’ Park in
September. Jamie Vardy scored from the spot before Harry Maguire doubled the
Foxes’ lead in the second half.
