Newcastle United, Recent FormIn their previous league fixture, Newcastle United managed a remarkable 4-1 home win against Brighton & Hove Albion. They achieved 34% possession in that match and had 22 strikes at goal, with 9 hitting the target, up against Brighton & Hove Albion's tally of 8 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
With 19 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Eddie Howe will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 8 goals in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at St James' Park.
They have had an excellent run of form at St James' Park recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 home games.
Goalscorer Callum Wilson will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 8 goals in his last 6 league matches for Newcastle United.
Leicester City, Recent FormThe Leicester City squad will want to put the 3-0 home thrashing they received from Liverpool firmly behind them and may also need to find something to boost their confidence levels as a consequence. Their share of possession in that meeting was 33%, while racking up 4 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Liverpool had 16 shots on goal with 5 on target.
Their boss Dean Smith is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 15 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 9 goals scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 21 games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 7 games.
With 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, Harvey Barnes has given the travelling Leicester City support something to shout about on the road.
A defeat for Leicester City in their last match against Newcastle United was not completely unexpected, but they will have been disappointed to lose by 3 goals.
In each of their last 6 games away from home in the league to Newcastle, The Foxes have scored at least 1 goal and will be looking to extend that run. Leicester have a good attacking record away to The Magpies in the league, having scored a total of 6 goals in their last 3 visits, which gives an average of 2 goals per game.
Leicester has lost the last 2 times they've faced Newcastle in the league.
Leicester man James Maddison will be out for more of the same in front of goal in this match against Newcastle, having bagged 2 goals in the last 3 encounters between these sides at St James' Park.
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ryan Fraser (Lack of fitness), Emil Krafth (Ligament), Jamaal Lascelles (Calf), Sean Longstaff (Foot), Jacob Murphy (Groin) and Matt Ritchie (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Dean Smith has a number of injury concerns in his Leicester squad to contend with: Ryan Bertrand (Lack of fitness), Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (Ankle), Kelechi Ịheanachọ (Groin), James Justin (Achilles tendon), Çağlar Söyüncü (Hamstring), Jannik Vestergaard (Calf) and Danny Ward (Finger)
