Leicester City prepare to entertain Newcastle United at Walkers Stadium on Friday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Foxes are clearly on top, having won 31 and lost only 11 of the 54 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Walkers Stadium was two seasons ago, in January 2002, when they played out a goalless draw in a Premiership match.

Recent respective form guides
Leicester City's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Foxes have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Newcastle Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, with 3 victories and just 1 loss from the last six. The Magpies's have scored 8 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 10.
Leicester City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 16 points from 17 matches. Newcastle Utd. find themselves in a respectable 6th position, courtesy of the 25 points they have accumulated from 17 games.

Nothing seems to be going right for the Foxes at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Magpies come away with an easy victory. Away win
