On the pitch, the 2010s were the best ever decade for Leicester City...so far. With an exciting young team in 2nd place, these early 2020 fixtures could put us on the way to even better years ahead.
While it might seem like Newcastle’s best years are behind them, the Magpies have been a real surprise this year, although 3 losses from their last 4 has dropped them back into the bottom half.

Leicester City Team News:
Brendan Rodgers rotated out pretty much his whole team last time, so tiredness should only be an issue for Jonny Evans, who played 180 minutes in 45 hours. Ricardo Pereira was apparently nursing a slight injury but is expected to be fit.
Newcastle United Team News:
Steve Bruce has a more difficult injury situation and has called 20 year old CB Kelland Watts to the first team with Jamaal Lascelles ruled out and Ciaran Clark and Paul Dummett both doubts. Elsewhere, Allan Saint-Maximin will miss out while Joelinton, Ki Sung-Yeung, Fabian Schar and Florian Lejeune all face fitness tests.
Matt Ritchie could make his return, so look out for that if Hamza is playing.
