Leicester City vs Newcastle United: Lee Ryder's prediction ahead of King Power Stadium encounter

Newcastle United have happy memories of taking on Leicester City at the King Power Stadium in recent times.

Two excellent away wins in the last two seasons have effectively secured top-flight status in impressive manner against the 2016 Premier League champions.

But they now face Brendan Rodgers' with Leicester flying high in third place.

Lee Ryder's prediction

United are massive underdogs in this game with odds of 10/1 for a Premier League game.

Perhaps that should be pinned on the wall in the visiting dressing room as some type of motivation this Sunday.

Putting aside the comparisons to the start of last season and this one (this one is better with five points picked up compared to one), Newcastle are spluttering out results but still picking up points.

Leicester have had a heavier schedule this week with two matches and I think that might play into United's hands.

It'll be tough but I think United can grab a point here.
