Leicester City will host Newcastle United at the King Power Stadium on 7 April 2025, at 8pm, in the 31st round of the Premier League. A win would be vital for the home team to avoid relegation, while the visitors are fighting for a Champions League spot.
Team performance
Leicester City:
Leicester are in extremely poor form, having lost their last eight matches, scoring just one goal. Their last match was a 2-0 defeat to Manchester City. They are particularly poor at home, having lost seven in a row and failing to score in those matches.
Newcastle United:
Newcastle, on the other hand, are in good form, having won 2-1 against Brentford in their last match. They have won ten of their last 14 league matches and are currently fighting for a place in the Champions League.
Important missing items
Leicester City:
- Harry Winks: The midfielder is unlikely to play due to a disagreement between him and manager Ruud van Nistelrooy.
- Abdul Fatawu: Unable to use due to long-term injury.
- Harry Souttar: He is also missing from the defense due to injury.
Newcastle United:
- Alexander Isaac: Although he suffered a minor injury, he is expected to be available for use.
- Kieran Trippier: His game is questionable due to a minor injury.
- Anthony Gordon: He recently suffered an injury, so his game is uncertain.
- Sven Botman, Lewis Hall, Jamaal Lascelles: All three are injured and unavailable.
Tactical analysis
Leicester City:
Ruud van Nistelrooy is expected to use a 4-5-1 formation, with Jamie Vardy as the sole striker. In midfield, Ndidi and Soumaré will provide defensive stability, while El Khannouss and Mavididi will support the attacks.
Newcastle United:
Eddie Howe's side are likely to play in a 4-3-3 formation. If Isak is not fully fit, Callum Wilson could start as a centre forward, while Murphy and Barnes will attack on the wings. Guimarães, Tonali and Willock will control the midfield.
Weather conditions
The weather in Leicester is expected to be pleasant, spring-like, with temperatures around 15°C and light winds. Precipitation is unlikely, so the weather will not have a significant impact on the game.
