Leicester's last three league games are against Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur. They also have an FA Cup final to prepare for against Chelsea. Leicester had 25 goal attempts against Newcastle but their defence was all at sea as Joe Willock and Paul Dummett gave Newcastle a 2-0 halftime lead before Callum Wilson's second-half double made it 4-0 to the visitors.
