Leicester City vs Newcastle United Full Match Highlights Replay.
A doomed Leicester City side could be condemned to an unprecedented eighth successive home defeat in the Premier League when Newcastle United visit the King Power Stadium. Ruud van Nistelrooy’s men lost 2-0 to Manchester City on their return to action in midweek, while the EFL Cup winners enhanced their top-four credentials by edging out Brentford 2-1. Picking up exactly where they left off just before the international break – by losing and failing to score – Leicester City’s trip to the Etihad to face reigning champions Man City was not expected to be fruitful.

Leicester City seemingly inevitable relegation to the Championship cannot be confirmed this weekend – unlike basement side Southampton – but it appears to be just a matter of time before they are condemned to a swift second-tier return, especially if the form book is anything to go by. The hosts’ midweek loss at the Etihad marked an embarrassing eighth defeat in a row in all competitions – during which Van Nistelrooy’s men have only found the back of the net once – and another unwanted English football record could be theirs.

Leicester City are at risk of becoming the first side in English Football League history to lost eight consecutive league games at home without scoring; if that was not enough, the Foxes could also lose 11 home games in a single season for the first time in their history.

Having played fewer games than all of the clubs around them, Newcastle United top-four fate remains in their own hands heading into the final straight, and Eddie Howe’s men have run into few difficulties against newly-promoted teams of late.

Newcastle United are on a six-game Premier League winning sequence against teams to have come up from the Championship in the previous campaign, while only losing one of their last 18 such matches; unpleasant reading for those of a Leicester City persuasion.

Newcastle United have strung together a five-game unbeaten run versus Leicester across all tournaments – winning four of those battles – and Howe’s men made extremely light work of their opponents in December, when they hit Leicester City for four at home.
