Newcastle vs Leicester live stream: How to watch Premier League fixture online and on TV today
Leicester City will aim to snap a two-game winless streak on Sunday when they head to Newcastle United in the Premier League. The Foxes are near the head of the queue when it comes to the tightly contested race for Champions League spots, sitting fourth at the start of play - but from third to 10th is a gap of just three points.
It means every win is vital and every game of dropped points looks costly right now, with the coveted top-four spots inevitably going to the team which shows most consistency in the difficult runs when games come thick and fast.
