What happened last time?

Leicester recorded a comprehensive 4-0 success over Newcastle at King Power Stadium in December 2021, courtesy of a brace from Youri Tielemans and a goal apiece for Patson Daka and James Maddison.

The Foxes also triumphed on their last visit to St. James’ Park during the 2020/21 season, winning 2-1 in January 2021. Again it was Tielemans and Maddison on the scoresheet before Andy Carroll’s scored a consolation for the Magpies.
