What happened last time?
Leicester City
Patson Daka, James Maddison and Youri Tielemans scored the goals that saw the Foxes pick up three points in their last meeting with Newcastle.
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.
