Team News

Newcastle
Leicester
  • Jamaal Lascelles, Sven Botman, Callum Wilson and Emil Krafth are all ruled out for Newcastle, while Joe Willock will be assessed.
  • Nick Pope is facing a month on the sidelines after sustaining a knee injury last weekend.
  • Ruud van Nistelrooy will be without injured quartet Jakub Stolarczyk, Ricardo Pereira, Harry Winks and Abdul Fatawu.
  • Boubakary Soumare misses out through suspension, while Wilfred Ndidi and Odsonne Edouard will be assessed.

Prediction

  • Newcastle are now four matches without a victory following the 4-2 defeat at Brentford last weekend.
  • Eddie Howe's side occupy 12th place in the Premier League, and have so far won five, drawn five and lost five.
  • Leicester's upturn in form following the appointment of Ruud van Nistelrooy continued at the weekend, as they claimed a late point at home to Brighton.
  • The Foxes are now five points clear of the relegation zone, and a result here could see them start to look up the table.
