Latest Leicester vs Newcastle team news
Leicester have only one name on their long-term injury list – Abdul Fatawu (knee injury), who will be out for the rest of the season. However, midfielder Harry Winks is a notable absence for the match against Man City.
According to some sources, Winks was dropped from the squad by coach Van Nistelrooy due to a dispute over the more than 160 km daily commute from his residence to the training ground. The possibility of reconciliation between the two before the next match remains unclear.
Most Leicester players underperformed against Man City – including Jamie Vardy – but the veteran striker is still likely to wear the captain's armband from the start.
On Newcastle's side, fans are holding their breath awaiting news on the condition of Alexander Isak – a player who is in excellent form but whose participation is still uncertain. He is among the doubtful players along with Kieran Trippier (groin), Anthony Gordon (leg), Joelinton (knee) and Matt Targett (illness).
Meanwhile, Sven Botman (knee), Jamaal Lascelles (knee), and Lewis Hall (foot) will definitely be absent.
If Anthony Gordon – who has served his suspension – is still unavailable, Harvey Barnes could start on the left flank. The former Leicester player scored 45 goals and provided 32 assists in 187 appearances for his old club – and he will be determined to prove himself at his former home.
Latest predicted lineups for Leicester vs Newcastle

Latest Leicester vs Newcastle football match prediction
Leicester City continued their dismal run after the international break, suffering another defeat without scoring a single goal. Their trip to the Etihad Stadium to face the reigning champions, Manchester City, didn't promise anything positive, and the outcome on Wednesday night proved to be exactly as predicted.
The emotions of Leicester fans were undoubtedly heightened when Jack Grealish – who hadn't scored a Premier League goal this season – took just two minutes to open the scoring. Omar Marmoush then capitalized on a familiar defensive error from Leicester to seal a 2-0 victory.
Leicester's relegation is becoming increasingly inevitable, although they haven't been officially relegated this weekend like Southampton. However, based on their current form, their return to the Championship is only a matter of time.
Man City's midweek defeat was their eighth consecutive loss in all competitions – an embarrassing run in which they have only scored one goal. Worse still, Leicester are facing the risk of becoming the first team in English professional football history to lose eight consecutive home league games without scoring a single goal.
Furthermore, they face the possibility of losing 11 home games in a single season – something unprecedented in the club's history.
While Leicester look to avoid their eighth consecutive home defeat, Newcastle are aiming for their eighth away win in the Premier League this season – a milestone they have only achieved four times before since 1992.
After a break following their EFL Cup victory – excluding players on international duty – Newcastle returned strongly, ending Brentford's impressive away run midweek. Alexander Isak's 20th Premier League goal of the season and Sandro Tonali's stunning strike secured all three points.
Having played fewer games than their rivals, Newcastle still holds its destiny in its own hands in the race for the top four. And in recent matches against newly promoted teams, they have generally not faced too much difficulty.
Eddie Howe's team is on a run of six consecutive wins against newly promoted teams in the Premier League, having lost only one of their last 18 matches against this group – a rather unpleasant statistic for Leicester fans.
Furthermore, Newcastle are unbeaten in their last five matches against Leicester in all competitions – winning four of them. In their most recent encounter in December, they easily thrashed the Foxes 4-0.
