Newcastle United have won three of their last four away league matches against Leicester City (L1), as many as they had in their previous 17 trips to Filbert Street and King Power Stadium (D7 L7). 

Since their return to the Premier League in 2014, Leicester have won more matches against Newcastle than they have versus any other side in the competition, with eight.  

Leicester striker Jamie Vardy has been directly involved in 25 goals in his last 18 Premier League appearances against sides starting the day in the relegation zone, with 18 goals and seven assists.  

Leicester have conceded a league-high seven headed goals in the Premier League this season, while only Burnley and Chelsea have netted more headers than Newcastle's five, with six each.
