10 Key Match Facts Ahead Of Leicester City Vs NUFC

2. -21 - Newcastle's Goal Difference, Compared To Leicester's -18

One thing that may relegate Newcastle is their goal difference, which has taken a battering in the last seven games - dropping by 11 in that period. Their goal difference now stands at -21, the joint-fourth-worst in the Premier League alongside Queens Park Rangers - with only Aston Villa (-22), Sunderland (-23) and Burnley (-26) faring worse. Leicester's has improved in recent weeks though following their resurgence, and it now stands at -18. If the Foxes were to beat the Magpies then their goal differences would continue to move in opposite directions, just like their league positions.
