Newcastle United host Leicester City in the Premier League on Monday, May 22, 2023.
The Magpies are currently in the race to finish top four this season, meanwhile, the Foxes are 19th.
Ahead of the game, BBC Sport’s football expert Chris Sutton has made a prediction, According to Sutton, the Magpies will celebrate 3-1 victory.
“Leicester have scored more goals than any other team in the bottom half of the table – and more than Aston Villa, who are eighth, too,” wrote Sutton on BBC.
“The Foxes have some excellent attacking players but their defence is just not good enough. Even the return of Jonny Evans, who is a real warrior, has not changed that.
“That’s why I don’t think they will be able to compete with Newcastle, who have got a top-four finish in their sights and could take a big step towards that here.”
