Leicester do not have a very strong winning record and this will be among the issues they hope to address as they get to play at home against Newcastle United, who have also not had a very good season thus far. Both sides come from a win and harbor different ambitions heading to this game – Leicester hoping to seal a place in Europe as Newcastle look to edge closer to Premier League survival. Defensively, Leicester have been struggling a bit, with only five clean sheets in 15 home games and they meet a Newcastle side that has netted in five of their last six away games in the league. In their last five matches, Leicester have managed a loss, two wins and two draws and at home, they have a loss, three draws and a win, scoring five and conceding five. They have four wins in 10 and just two clean sheets in the process. While they have defensive concerns, Leicester have scored in each of their last 12 matches and in the Premier League, they have managed four wins in the last 10 and are unbeaten in their last six league matches at home. They also head to the game with a run of five straight wins over Newcastle. The visitors, on their part, have been improving lately and have three wins, a loss and a draw in the last five.
