Leicester v Newcastle

  • King Power Stadium, 2000 BST kick-off on Sky Sports Premier League

The Foxes are continuing to gather momentum and improve with more time under Rodgers on the training ground and the Magpies are there for the taking. Warning signs will be out with another dropping of points here for Benitez's side, but the feeling is a newly-motivated Foxes outfit will prove too much.

Best bet:
Overall, the Foxes are one of the best second-half sides in the league this season. Going on results solely after the interval, they are third behind Liverpool and Man City. But under Rodgers' management they have scored in the opening half hour in three games - and in another on 33 minutes. These stats show how the Northern Irishman has been keen on his side bursting out the blocks and asserting their authority on a game, especially on occasions like this against bottom-half opposition. Newcastle, meanwhile, have conceded 13 in this window this season.

Goals/Stats:
An excellent price on a player due a goal. Leicester's number seven has started all of their last four wins and showed hunger last time out, with three attempts on goal in the win at Huddersfield. As part of a front three with Jamie Vardy and Harvey Barnes, Gray's speed and skill can get the better of the visitors to at least register a shot on target. The England Under 21 international has four goals to his name this term and will be keen to end his current five-game drought.
