Prediction: 2-0
Leicester
Newcastle United will look to move one step closer to booking their place in the Champions League when they take on Leicester City on Monday evening. The Magpies aim to put icing on the cake on a very successful season and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach against Leicester. Callum Wilson should keep his place up front after scoring a brace in a 2-2 draw with Leeds United, while all Ritchie, Krafth, Lascelles, and Longstaff should miss out with injuries.
The Foxes, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to Fulham (3-5) and Liverpool (0-3) and given their shaky defence, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from Monday’s encounter. Patson Daka is pushing for a start, while fellow forward Kelechi Iheanacho is a major doubt. All Justin, Soyuncu, Vestergaard, and Bertrand remain on the sidelines with injuries.
