Relegation candidates will be looking to keep alive their hopes of escaping relegation on Monday when they play host to top four chasers Newcastle United.
Leicester gained immediate promotion to the top flight following their relegation at the end of the 2023-23 season, but it looks like only time is keeping them from a return. The Foxes sit 12 points adrift of safety and go into Monday's game on a run of eight consecutive defeats. To make matters worse, Nistelrooy's side failed to find the net in all seven of their league games during that spell.
Newcastle United, meanwhile, celebrated their first trophy in seven decades by beating Liverpool in the League Cup final over a week ago. The Magpies aren't in a good position in the league, sitting in sixth place, but just two points separate them from the Champions League places.
Leicester City vs Newcastle United Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
Newcastle will be favourites to take all three points on Monday, but the Magpies have struggled defensively at home in recent times, with the only clean sheet in their last six meetings coming in the 2-0 win over Arsenal in the League Cup semi-final. Bets on over 2.5 goals won in five of those encounters.
Leicester aren't just struggling offensively, they're also struggling defensively and go into Monday's game without a clean sheet in 26 matches in all competitions. The Foxes conceded at least two goals in all but one of their last 18 matches and I expect a similar result on Monday night.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Leicester City vs Newcastle United prediction: 1-2

Newcastle United team news
Like their hosts, Newcastle United will be without three players through injury at the King Power Stadium on Monday.
Jamaal Lascelles will miss the trip to Leicester due to a lack of fitness, while Lewis Hall and Sven Botman are nursing ankle and knee injuries respectively.
The good news for the visitors is the return of Anthony Gordon who is back and available for selection after his three match ban.
