LEI vs NEW Dream11 Tips for Leicester City vs Newcastle United English Premier League Fixtures 8 May

LEI vs NEW Dream11: Despite playing against ten-men for the vast majority of the match, Leicester were held to a 1-1 draw by Southampton away from home last time out. Manager Brendan Rodgers will have been cursing his side’s inability to take their chances, after registering 23 shots on goal against the Saints and this is something the Foxes will be looking to put right against Newcastle. Following a run of four Premier League games unbeaten, Steve Bruce’s Magpies fell to a 0-2 defeat at home to Arsenal last weekend. Despite sitting 17^th-place in the table, Newcastle currently boast a nine-point lead over Fulham directly below them. Leicester however, have won their last three games in all competitions at the King Power Stadium.
