Did you know?
Leicester have won their last four PL matches against Newcastle and can make it five in a row against a single club for the first time in the Premier League era.
The Foxes have scored 90th-minute goals in their last three PL matches. Only Arsenal have done so in four consecutive outings, back in March 2010. In total, Leicester have scored six 90th-minute PL goals this season, the joint-highest tally along with Watford and Manchester City.
Newcastle are targeting a third successive PL victory, a feat they last achieved in September.
Having scored twice and provided an assist, Newcastle midfielder Kenedy has been directly involved in three goals in his last two PL matches. That is more than in his previous 21 appearances, when he registered one goal and one assist.
