---------------------------------
Leicester City
Leicester City will remain without the services of Abdul Fatawu Issahaku, who is out for the remainder of the season due to a knee injury. Harry Winks was not a part of their last outing following a rift with the manager, and it will be interesting to see if he is involved in this fixture.
The Foxes will line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, where Mads Hermansen will be in goal. Luke Thomas, Wout Faes and Caleb Okoli will be the three central defenders. James Justin and Victor Kristiansen will feature as the wing-backs, providing support on both ends of the pitch.
In the centre of the park, Wilfred Ndidi will pair up with Boubakary Soumare. The duo will shield the backline and ensure the Newcastle United midfielders do not end up dominating the proceedings. Bilal El Khannouss and Jordan Ayew should be the two attacking midfielders behind veteran striker Jamie Vardy.
Newcastle United
The Magpies could be without several key players for this clash, with Kieran Trippier, Anthony Gordon, Joelinton, Alexander Isak, and Matt Targett all doubtful, while Sven Botman, Lewis Hall, and Jamaal Lascelles are confirmed absentees.
Eddie Howe’s team will line up in a 4-3-3 formation, where Nick Pope should take charge in goal. Emil Krafth and Valentino Livramento could be the two full-backs, while Fabian Schar will partner with Dan Burn in central defence.
Sandro Tonali will take up the role of a defensive midfielder, while Bruno Guimaraes and Joe Willock will be in his support. The trio will look to control the tempo of the game. Jacob Murphy and Harvey Barnes could feature on the flanks, providing width to their attacks. If Isak is not fully fit, Callum Wilson could end up leading the line for Newcastle United against Leicester City.
Leicester City possible starting lineup:
Hermansen; Thomas, Faes, Okoli; Justin, Ndidi, Soumare, Kristiansen; El Khannouss, Ayew; Vardy
Newcastle United possible starting lineup:
Pope; Krafth, Schar, Burn, Livramento; Guimaraes, Tonali, Willock; Murphy, Wilson, Barnes
Leicester City vs Newcastle United Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
There have been 135 clashes between the sides in history, with Newcastle winning on 58 occasions - including a crushing 4-0 win at home this season - and losing to Leicester a close 49 times.
The Foxes last won this fixture back in December 2021, a 4-0 victory at the King Power Stadium.
The Magpies have won four of their last five encounters with Leicester.
Leicester have failed to score in their last four games against Newcastle: 3-0 (December 2022), 2-0 (January 2023), 0-0 (May 2023) and 4-0 (December 2024).
Leicester could become the first English side in history to lose eight home games in a row without scoring.
Prediction: Leicester City 0-2 Newcastle United
Newcastle may not be able to deploy their most fearsome attack at the King Power Stadium, but the EFL Cup winners still have our vote to condemn Leicester to that familiar sinking feeling. As lethal as Van Nistelrooy was in his playing days, his current side are anything but, and the Foxes will likely have made unwanted English football history by the full-time whistle.
