Foxes looking to continue fine league form. By Matt Ballard
Leicester will be looking to put pressure on Wolves as they play one of their games in hand this weekend against Newcastle.
City have gone from not getting midtable to an outside shot at a top-eight finish, and it’s no coincidence that the fine run of form has coincided with the return of many first-team players such as Fofana and Evans.
Newcastle will be no pushovers; they have been on a fantastic run of form since Eddie Howe managed to get signings in during the January window, which has propelled them from the relegation zone to relative safety in 15th. Leicester will need to be wary of key man Allan Saint-Maximin who will need to be contained if Newcastle are to be nullified.
Ndidi, Ward and Vardy remain missing on the injury front just like they did against Eindhoven, while Newcastle will defiantly be missing Callum Wilson and Kieran Trippier. They are likely out for the rest of the season.
After Newcastle, the Foxes travel up to Merseyside to play Everton for the first time this season, followed by Aston Villa
