Leicester City Can’t See the Light at the End of the Tunnel

Leicester City is having one of its worst seasons for some time now. They have tried adjusting to the pace that the Premier League demands, but it just isn’t happening.

Most of their attempts to score have failed. As of their tenth matchday, they had only achieved a single victory against Nottingham Forest, who were also on their heels in the table until then.

A match like Leicester City vs Newcastle, against an opponent they know and know they can hurt, is a golden opportunity to get the three points they need.

Newcastle Is Going Hard in the Competition

Newcastle had managed to score in almost all but one of their matches leading in to their tenth matchday. This gave them an incredible record to start an EPL season where most teams had at least two defeats by this stage.

In Leicester City vs Newcastle they should take advantage of this sort of momentum as they look to take the points at home.
