The two sides approach the fixture in contrasting situations, with City looking to overcome a considerable gap to top-flight survival, while Newcastle chase the UEFA Champions League spots after lifting the Carabao Cup earlier this year.

Ahead of Monday’s outing on LE2, here are some of the key facts and figures behind it…

Recent fortunes – Magpies on top

The last five league meetings between Leicester and Newcastle have seen the Magpies on top, with City securing one win in that span. The most recent fixture, back in December, ended in a 4-0 defeat at St. James' Park, with Jacob Murphy netting twice alongside goals from Bruno Guimarães and Alexander Isak.

Our last point against Newcastle came in a goalless draw in May 2023, as the Foxes' battled for survival. The Foxes’ last victory in this fixture, mind you, was a commanding 4-0 win in December 2021, thanks to goals from Youri Tielemans (two, including a penalty), Patson Daka, and James Maddison.

Cup record – Mixed fortunes

The FA Cup has historically been kinder to Leicester in this fixture, with the most recent meeting in January 2015 seeing the Foxes edge out a 1-0 win in the third round, courtesy of a Leonardo Ulloa strike. However, in the League Cup, Newcastle took the spoils in January 2023, winning 2-0 in the quarter-finals with goals from Dan Burn and Joelinton.

Feats & records – Hat-trick herpes and own goals

City's last player to score a hat-trick against Newcastle was David Kelly in 1990. Interestingly, Kelly achieved a rare feat by also scoring a hat-trick for Newcastle against Leicester in 1997.

Penalty drama has played a role in past meetings, with the last Leicester spot-kick converted against Newcastle coming from Youri Tielemans in December 2021. The Magpies’ most recent penalty in this fixture, meanwhile, came from Chris Wood in December 2022.

Own goals have also featured in the series, with Leicester last conceding one against Newcastle in 2004 (Gerry Taggart) and Newcastle's last one against Leicester coming in 2019 (Paul Dummett).

Connections & goalscorers – From Pérez to Ferdinand

Connections between the clubs includes Ayoze Pérez’s move to Leicester in 2019 for an undisclosed fee, while Harvey Barnes joined Newcastle in 2023. Other notable players to have represented both clubs include Keith Gillespie, Les Ferdinand, David Kelly, and Nolberto Solano.

Leicester’s all-time leading scorer against Newcastle is Arthur Chandler with 15 goals, while Mick Quinn leads the way for Newcastle with eight. Unique scoring feats include Pérez achieving the unusual distinction of scoring for both clubs in the same season, one being an own goal.
