  Leicester City – Newcastle United April 7th, 2025 King Power Stadium will be the venue for a clash between teams in completely different situations. The home side Leicester City is fighting for mere survival in the Premier League, while Newcastle United is heading toward participation in European competitions. The Foxes are also on the verge of a sad historical record - seven home defeats in a row without scoring a goal puts them in the same situation as Manchester City in 2007 and Watford in the 1971/72 season.

Etihad Stadium is synonymous with goal feasts for these teams. Ten mutual matches at this stadium have produced a respectable 43 goals (City 25, Leicester 18), which means more than 4 goals pe...
