Newcastle predicted XI: Leicester City (A)

Newcastle United face Leicester City this weekend as they look to secure their Premier League status ahead of next season.

The Magpies have eased their concerns by beating Huddersfield Town and Southampton at St James Park in their last two games.

They sit seven points away from danger and shouldn’t get dragged into this situation barring a complete collapse from the team.

Leicester will provide a tough test for Rafa Benitez’s side this weekend with the Foxes targeting a top seven finish and a place back in European competition in the Europa League.

Benitez has a strong squad to choose from for the trip to the King Power Stadium with just Islam Slimani missing out through ineligibility.

Kenedy is set to play a key role for the Magpies after netting three goals and one assist in the past two matches.

Here is how we feel Newcastle will line up this weekend.
