Newcastle United Team News
- Out: Joe Willock, Sean Longstaff, Emil Krafth, Jamaal Lascelles, Matt Ritchie, Ryan Fraser
- Doubt: Joelinton, Jacob Murphy
Just two points separate Newcastle United from their long-awaited return to the Champions League on the back of what has been an unexpected yet delightful season on Tyneside as the Magpies have rapidly risen up the Premier League ranks to upset the established order while taking advantage of a handful of underperforming top-six sides.
It remains unclear precisely where the Magpies will place when all is said and done, but to guarantee they remain among the English elite next term, the maximum points on offer must be taken against a Leicester City side that currently sits in the bottom three while remaining desperate to avoid what could potentially be a cataclysmic drop into the Championship.
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe will certainly lament the absence of key midfielder Joe Willock after the former Arsenal man picked up a hamstring issue, and he joins Sean Longstaff, Emil Krafth, Jamaal Lascelles, Matt Ritchie, and Ryan Fraser on the list of the unavailable. Questions also persist surrounding Joelinton and Jacob Murphy, both of whom require late assessments to gauge any potential involvement against the Foxes.
