The tactically astute Rafael Benitez has made Newcastle hard to beat again and they could be set for another positive showing at Leicester.

The Magpies have lost just two of their ten league matches since the turn of the year – trips to Anfield and the Etihad their only upsets – and they should trouble the inconsistent Foxes.

Leicester have been held by Swansea, Stoke and Bournemouth in recent home games and could also be thwarted by the confident visitors.

Newcastle or draw double chance
