Struggling Leicester City host Newcastle United in the 31st round of the Premier League in a Monday night clash. Currently, the hosts have lost their last five matches and seem all but certain to get relegated at the end of the season.
Even though they appointed Manchester United and Real Madrid legend Ruud van Nistelrooy as their head coach midway through the season, not a lot has gone right for the Foxes.
In this game, Harry Souttar and Abdul Fatawu have been ruled out with injuries, whereas Edoard and Ricardo Pereira are doubtful starters. Leicester are currently 19th in the league table and do not seem capable of moving out of the drop zone.
What will worry their fans a lot ahead of this game is that Leicester have not got on the scoresheet even once in their last five matches. At the same time, an even more worrying statistic is that they haven’t kept a clean sheet in 25 matches.
Leicester City predicted lineup vs Newcastle United: (3-4-2-1): Hermansen; Faes, Coady, Okoli; Justin, Ndidi, Winks, Kristiansen; Buonanotte, El Khannouss; Vardy.
Newcastle United, currently ranked sixth in the league table, have been one of the big surprises this season.
They won the EFL Cup this season, which was surprising to many spectators, although head coach Eddie Howe had already instilled a sense of quiet resilience in the squad with his aggressive tactics.
In this game against Leicester, Newcastle’s attackers will hope to run amok while their defenders will aim to keep a clean sheet.
The Magpies have currently scored 8 goals in their last 5 matches, with Bruno Guimaraes having created the most big chances for them (11).
Having just beaten Liverpool 2-1 in the EFL Cup final, Newcastle are on a high, and will hope to continue in the same vein of form.
However, the likes of Anthony Gordon, Jamal Lascelles, Lewis Hall and Sven Botman have been ruled out with injuries in this game, and Howe will have to look for other options on the bench.
Newcastle United predicted lineup vs Leicester City: (4-3-3): Pope; Trippier, Schar, Burn, Livramento; Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton; Murphy, Isak, Barnes.
Bet hereNewcastle United are the favourites to win this game, and we do not expect to see them face any hurdles. Leicester have been extremely poor this season, and no light seems to emerge for them at the end of this particularly long tunnel.
Out of the 20 games recorded between these teams, Leicester have won 10 as compared to Newcastle’s eight, but the latter’s better form will surely coast them over comfortably in this game.
With the likes of Alexander Isak and Jamie Vardy operating from both teams, we expect to see a total of over 2.5 goals in this match.
While Isak will like nothing better than to tear into the Leicester defenders in this game, Vardy will have a much tougher job getting past the tight zonal marking that the visiting side employ.
A total of over 2.5 goals was seen when these teams last met each other, in December 2024, and the same will be expected in this match as well.
