Leicester vs Newcastle

Newcastle United have won 11 of their last 15 Premier League games (L4), starting with a 4-0 win over Leicester City on 14th December; only Liverpool (38) have more points in the competition since then than the Magpies’ 33.

Leicester City have now failed to score in eight successive Premier League games, only Crystal Palace in January 1995 have endured a longer run in the competition (9 games).

Newcastle United have won eight of their 16 Premier League away games this season (D3 L5), only winning more in a Premier League campaign in 1993-94 and 2001-02 (both 9).

After winning nine of their 12 Premier League meetings with Newcastle between May 2015 and December 2021 (L3), Leicester are now winless in four against the Magpies (D1 L3).

Newcastle have kept a clean sheet in each of their last three Premier League meetings with Leicester, more than they had in their previous 16 against the Foxes (2).

Leicester City have lost each of their last seven home Premier League matches, failing to score in every single game. In English top-flight history, the only side to go eight home games in a row without a goal were Manchester City between January and May 2007, who drew two and lost six of those games.

Newcastle United have won seven away Premier League matches this season and could win 8+ on the road for a second time under Eddie Howe (also eight in 2022-23), having only done so three times before he joined the club (9 in 1993-94 under Kevin Keegan, 9 in 2001-02 under Bobby Robson, 8 in 2011-12 under Alan Pardew).

Should Leicester lose this game without scoring, they would become the first side in Football League history to lose eight home league games in a row without a goal – Watford also lost seven in a row between December 1971 and March 1972.
