Leicester vs Newcastle – Premier League: Live score, lineups and updates

Leicester vs Newcastle LIVE: The Foxes can cement their place in the top four with a win over Steve Bruce’s struggling side as the Magpies scrap for survival at the King Power

Leicester City can take another step closer to sealing a place in the top four as they welcome struggling Newcastle to the King Power Stadium on Friday night football.

Brendan Rodgers’ side are looking strong in the battle for Champions League qualification after agonisingly missing out on Europe’s elite competition last season, and victory over the Magpies will all but secure that dream with only a handful of games remaining. 

The Foxes are on 63 points – five points clear of fifth placed West Ham United and they can move a point behind second place Manchester United with three points.

The Magpies are still in the relegation mix at the bottom of the table, with Steve Bruce’s men suffering a bruising season but know they can put daylight between themselves and Fulham – who occupy 18th spot – with a shock win.
