Leicester City vs Newcastle Prediction

After an excellent battling 1-1 draw at Anfield, Newcastle United returned to poor form and were comprehensively outplayed by Arsenal in a 2-0 home defeat. Leicester will hope that last week’s slip up at Southampton was a one-off ahead of a crucial couple of weeks for the club. We are backing the Foxes to notch up an easy win in this game.

Newcastle United Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-3-3

Leicester City dropped points in their last game, drawing 1-1 against 10-men Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium. With tough games and an FA Cup Final to come over the next fortnight, Brendan Rodgers’ side will be looking to kick off the final run of matches with a win. Newcastle have 37 points on the board already but could have been mathematically safe if they hadn’t dropped points against Arsenal last week.
After this game, Leicester’s 3 remaining games are all against teams in the top 5 of the Premier League

3rd placed Leicester City welcome Newcastle United in 17th position for this Friday night game. The Foxes still have a five point gap separating them from 5th placed West Ham United and a win in this match would put them in a strong position to qualify for next year’s Champions League. With four games remaining, the Magpies are nine points clear of relegation and irrespective of how this game goes, should be playing top flight football again next season. The Premier League match takes place on May 7 and the live action at the King Power Stadium kicks off at 20:00 local time.
