Leicester currently occupies the thirteenth position in the Premier League standings. The team managed by Brendan Rodgers has achieved 5 wins, 2 draws and 8 defeats so far this season.
In the last five rounds, the Foxes have totaled four wins and will surely come into the Leicester vs Newcastle match looking for the three points to overtake at least Aston Villa and Crystal Palace in terms of standings. As the tournament is tight, a win could mean a significant breakthrough in the fight for a place in European competitions.
The blue team defeated MK Dons in their most recent EFL Cup game with style, triumphing 3-0 on goals from Youri Tielemans, Ayoze Pérez, and Jamie Vardy. In terms of possession and attack, the Leicester team was far superior.
Possible Leicester lineup (4-2-3-1): Danny Ward, Timothy Castagne, Daniel Amartey, Wout Faes, Luke Thomas, Youri Tielemans, Boubakary Soumare, Dennis Praet, Ayoze Perez, Harvey Barnes, Jamie Vardy.
Betting on Newcastle United
Newcastle were able to defeat Bournemouth in their most recent match at home by a score of 1-0. Although the team made multiple attempts to score against the opposition, Adam Smith’s own goal gave the Albinegros the lead in the 67th minute. The mistake cost Bournemouth the game since they were unable to respond to it.
