Previous Encounters
Newcastle United has had a strong record against Leicester City, remaining unbeaten in their last five meetings across league and cup competitions. They have secured four victories and drawn once. The last time Leicester emerged victorious against Newcastle was in December 2021, when they achieved a commanding 4-0 win at home in the Premier League.
In addition, Newcastle has demonstrated solid defensive capabilities, keeping clean sheets in their last three encounters with Leicester in the top flight.
Team News
Newcastle United: Manager Eddie Howe has indicated that there are no significant injuries within the squad following their recent win over Brentford. However, players like Kieran Trippier, Alexander Isak, and Joelinton are dealing with minor issues that will be monitored closely. Anthony Gordon is also under observation as he has not fully recovered from a knock received during training with the England national team. Long-term absentees include Lewis Hall, Jamal Lascelles, and Sven Botman, who are all sidelined due to injuries.
Leicester City: On the other hand, Leicester City is nearly at full strength, with only midfielder Abdul Fatawu expected to miss the match due to injury. This generally healthy squad could play a crucial role in their performance.
Match Prediction
While Newcastle is dealing with several injured players, this might present Leicester with a chance to capitalize on any shortcomings within the Newcastle lineup. However, Newcastle is focused on achieving their season objectives, buoyed by their confidence from recent performances. Key players like Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimarães are fit and ready to dominate the midfield, likely limiting Leicester’s control in that area.
Predicted Outcome: Leicester City 0 - 2 Newcastle United.
