The confirmed Newcastle team v Leicester has now been announced.
Newcastle United looking to head back into a Champions League qualifying spot.
A win tonight would guarantee Eddie Howe’s side at least fifth after tonight and move ahead of Villa and Man City.
Chelsea are currently three points ahead of United but have a seven goal advantage on goal difference.
Although after tonight’s game, Newcastle United will have a game in hand on all their rivals for the Champions League spots.
Newcastle up against a Leicester side who have lost 14 of their last 15 Premier League matches, whilst they have lost all of their last seven without scoring a goal.
Newcastle team v Leicester:
Pope, Trippier, Schar, Burn, Livramento, Joelinton, Tonali, Bruno, Barnes, Isak, Murphy
So an unchanged team, the same eleven that started in the wins over West Ham, Liverpool and Brentford.
SUBS:
Dubravka, Ruddy, Wilson, Targett, Krafth, Osula, Longstaff, Miley, Neave
So no Joe Willock or Anthony Gordon in the matchday squad.
The remaining Newcastle United match schedule:
Monday 7 April – Leicester v Newcastle (8pm) Sky Sports
Sunday 13 April – Newcastle v Man U (4.30pm) Sky Sports
Wednesday 16 April – Newcastle v Palace (7.30pm) Sky Sports
