A Christmas cracker is to be expected as two of the Premier League form teams before the World Cup break face off at the King Power Stadium.
Newcastle, enjoying a dream campaign under Eddie Howe, are unbeaten since the end of August and their run of five consecutive wins has them sitting pretty in third ahead of the top flight’s return.
The St James’ Park faithful are dreaming of a return to the Champions League but their team face a real test of their credentials against a Leicester side that were getting their mojo back before the month-long pause.
A difficult start to the campaign had many thinking Brendan Rodgers would be shown the exit door but four wins from their last five games saw them climb to 13th and spying a return to the top half of the table in the second half of the season.
James Maddison was in a rich vein of form before the break, which earned the mercurial midfielder a call up to the England squad, and he will no doubt be eager to pick up where he left off.
