How Leicester City line up at the King Power Stadium as Brendan Rodgers' side return to Premier League action, with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Patson Daka ...

With no Maddison, Dennis Praet keeps his place on the right wing. The other change sees Patson Daka lead the line, with Jamie Vardy left out. There is some good injury news though, with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall fit to return.

“Our guide walked in to say hello, a strongly built guy of average height, and my father’s face transformed - Dave Hickson. You could watch football forever and never see a clearer penalty. And that’s how to take a penalty. A chance for Leicester, after Dewsbury-Hall plays in Daka. Martin Logan emails to point out that another goal description has gone missing and Newcastle are in fact two up, Almiron having scored a very fine seventh-minute second. There have been eight first-half goals in its four 3pm kick-offs, and no other team in the Football League has more than one except struggling Burton Albion in League One, who look to be on their way to a first league win since 22 October being as they are 3-0 up against Lincoln City. A third for Fulham! Newcastle somehow fail to score a fourth! Traore is released on the right and his cross deflects to Ait-Nouri, who smacks it in! Another red card for James Tomkins – making his first Premier League start since Boxing Day last year in absence of the suspended Marc Guehi – and further goals from Fulham’s captain Tim Ream and Mitrovic, with his tenth of the campaign, swept Marco Silva’s side to a deserved victory that leaves them level on points with Liverpool. On this evidence, Newcastle should relish hosting these opponents again in a fortnight in the Carabao Cup quarter-final. Discontent was building among the home crowd inside Goodison Park even before the Wolves substitute Rayan Aït-Nouri gave Julen Lopetegui the perfect start to his reign and heightened the pressure on Frank Lampard with a 95th-minute winner against Everton.

Whilst the fact that [Leicester](https://www.themag.co.uk/2022/12/watch-leicester-v-newcastle-live-tv-on-amazon-prime-for-free-and-9-other-pl-matches-special-offer/) have conceded only six at home and Newcastle leaking just six away, might point to a very low scoring game, with 19 goals in total in these last five meetings at the King Power, that looks unlikely. Considering their poor home form, it is a little bizarre then that only Newcastle United (five) and Man Utd (four) have conceded less than the six goals Leicester have conceded at home. The most recent four away matches seeing NUFC score 10 goals and concede just the three. Despite that, Brendan Rodgers’ team have still only won at home in the Premier League against Forest and Leeds. The BBC Sport pundit points to Newcastle winning their last five PL games as the big factor in the current third place in the table. Chris Sutton pointing to the NUFC rise in the Autumn, declaring ‘Newcastle flew up to third with five league wins in a row’ and now a case of trying to stay up there and even possibly…improving on third place.
