The fortunes of Leicester City and Newcastle United have changed somewhat in recent weeks - with the Foxes shooting up out of the bottom three and the Magpies hurtling at an alarming pace down towards the relegation zone. Both sides meet at the King Power Stadium in the Premier League's early kick-off on Saturday (12.45pm) in what could prove to be one of the most important games of the entire weekend. If the Magpies can win, then John Carver believes they will have taken a big step towards safety - as he predicts four points from their final four matches will be enough to see them survive. If the Foxes are victorious, however, then Nigel Pearson will have seen his side pick up 15 points from a possible 18 and they will ensure they remain outside of the bottom three again for another week at least. If either side can get a victory then they will have taken a big step towards survival, while the other will have taken another towards the Championship. But, heading into the game, how do both sides match up? Well, here are 10 key match facts ahead of Leicester City's pivotal relegation clash against Newcastle United at the King Power Stadium.
