Leicester City will be looking to inflict more misery on Newcastle United’s dismal end to the Premier League campaign when the sides meet in the lunchtime kick-off on Saturday and we have football tips for your weekend betting.

John Carver has endured a tough spell as Newcastle manager since taking over from Alan Pardew, with just two wins from his 16 games in charge and only collecting nine points out of a possible 48.

More worryingly for Newcastle fans, the Magpies have lost their last seven games in the league; a woeful run which has seen them slip into the relegation battle only five points ahead of local rivals Sunderland who sit 18th.

Leicester, on the other hand, have moved themselves out of the relegation places in recent weeks with four wins from their last five matches and only Chelsea, Arsenal and Everton have secured more points from their last five games.

The Foxes lost 3-1 at home to Chelsea in midweek in a game which was overshadowed by manager Nigel Pearson’s bizarre post-match rant in which he labelled a journalist an “ostrich”.

Pearson has since apologised and is now faced with a selection dilemma after admitting Andy King and Robert Huth could miss the game with knocks they picked up in the defeat to the league leaders.

David Nugent is also sidelined, so Jamie Vardy and Leonardo Ulloa are expected to spearhead the attack. Ulloa has netted 10 times in all competitions this season and is our Leicester v Newcastle betting tip with Stan James offering best priced odds at 6/1.

Dan Janmaat (illness) and Paul Dummett (knee) could return to bolster the defence for Newcastle, but with the contrasting fortunes of the two sides of late we’re backing Leicester to outclass the visitors on Saturday.

The Foxes to be winning at half-time and full-time is priced at 85/40 with Bet Victor and is our second Leicester v Newcastle prediction for this weekend’s Premier League.

Newcastle have lost their last four games on the road without scoring and are 12 minutes short of having gone seven hours without a goal away from St James’ Park.

The Magpies are still without the services of Papiss Cisse who serves the final game of his seven match ban for a spitting incident with Manchester United’s Jonny Evans in March.

Our final football betting tip therefore is Leicester to keep a clean sheet and can be found at odds of 33/20 with Coral.

When Newcastle reached 35 points in the league, Leicester were remarkably 17 points adrift from the Magpies at the foot of the table. A win on Saturday would move them to just one point behind John Carver’s side as their bid for Premier League survival continues.
