Confirmed Newcastle team v Leicester – Tonali, Burn, Bruno, Livramento all start | OneFootball

The confirmed Newcastle team v Leicester has now been announced.

Newcastle United looking to head back into a Champions League qualifying spot.

A win tonight would guarantee Eddie Howe’s side at least fifth after tonight and move ahead of Villa and Man City.

Chelsea are currently three points ahead of United but have a seven goal advantage on goal difference.

Although after tonight’s game, Newcastle United will have a game in hand on all their rivals for the Champions League spots.

Newcastle up against a Leicester side who have lost 14 of their last 15 Premier League matches, whilst they have lost all of their last seven without scoring a goal.

Newcastle team v Leicester:

Pope, Trippier, Schar, Burn, Livramento, Joelinton, Tonali, Bruno, Barnes, Isak, Murphy

So an unchanged team, the same eleven that started in the wins over West Ham, Liverpool and Brentford.

Dubravka, Ruddy, Wilson, Targett, Krafth, Osula, Longstaff, Miley, Neave

So no Joe Willock or Anthony Gordon in the matchday squad.

Monday 7 April – Leicester v Newcastle (8pm) Sky Sports
