Newcastle’s 4-2 win at the King Power last season heralded the beginning of Leicester’s unravelling, and they are still suffering from the defensive mistakes that contributed to that defeat. The latest evidence came in Thursday’s disappointing elimination from the Europa League at Napoli. On top of that, Brendan Rodgers’ selection options are limited by Covid- and illness-related absences so Newcastle, fresh from their first league win of the season over Burnley last weekend and at full strength with the exception of the defender Paul Dummett, will travel with renewed confidence.
