Leicester City are coming from a 3-0 fourth round win over MK Dons in the League Cup. That was their fourth straight win and clean sheet. They’ve also scored two or more goals in each of their last four matches. In the Premier League, Leicester come carrying four wins in five matches, registered before the World Cup break and conceded just one goal in the last five league matches. This run represents massive recovery for the side that went winless in the opening seven league matches and after 10 games they had only managed one win. Leicester have only managed five wins in their 15 league matches this season and at home, coming into this game, they have failed to score in three of five league games while they have three clean sheets in that period. Newcastle United, on the other hand, go into this game with four wins in their last five matches and they are unbeaten in the said period. They have four clean sheets in these five matches and conceded just one goal. Meanwhile, they have scored two or more goals in three of the last four league matches and kept clean sheets in three of the last five. Coming into this game they registered a 1-0 win over Bournemouth in the League Cup.

Leicester & Newcastle Squad Analysis
Leicester City will cross fingers to have James Maddison for this game. He didn’t feature in their League Cup win in midweek but reports have it that he is fit for the game having joined the team shortly after England’s exit at the 2022 World. Maddison has done well in this fixture, with three goals in the last five meetings with Newcastle United. Youri Tielemans will be looking forward to this game too, having scored three in the last five matches against Leicester, and Harvey Barnes, who was in fine form pre-World Cup has reason to look forward to this game, having scored four times in the last five matches. However, Jonny Evans, James Justin, Ryan Bertrand and Ricardo Pereira are out with injury. As for Newcastle United, all their players who took part in the World Cup are back and one of them, Bruno Guimaraes, who scored two in the last meeting between these sides, will be hoping to maintain an influential role in this game. Frenchman Alain Saint-Maximin should be fit enough to start after coming off the bench in their League Cup win.
