The Premier League is back in action with another round of important fixtures this weekend as Brendan Rodgers' Leicester City side take on Newcastle United at the King Power Stadium on Sunday.
Leicester City vs Newcastle United Preview
Leicester City are in 12th place in the Premier League standings and have largely failed to meet expectations this season. The Foxes now find themselves in the Europa Conference League after a 3-2 defeat against Napoli this week and cannot afford another poor performance in this fixture.
Newcastle United, on the other hand, are in 19th place in the league table at the moment and have become bonafide relegation contenders in recent weeks. The Magpies managed a crucial 1-0 victory against Burnley in their previous game and will need a similar result this weekend.

Leicester City vs Newcastle United Preview
Leicester City have been impressive in the final third this season but have been let down by a series of shoddy defensive performances. The Foxes could fail to qualify for European competition this season and have plenty of work to do in the coming weeks.
Newcastle United are in a fairly desperate situation and will need to build on their victory against Burnley. Leicester City are the better team on paper, however, and should be able to win this game.
Prediction: Leicester City 3-2 Newcastle United
