10 Key Match Facts Ahead Of Leicester City Vs NUFC

1. 10 - Goals Leicester Have Scored From Set Pieces This Season, To Newcastle's Six

Newcastle have managed to score just six goals from set pieces in the Premier League this season - the joint lowest in the entire division alongside Swansea. One penalty, one free-kick (in-direct) and four corners are all the Magpies have to show for their efforts from 34 matches. The Foxes, though hardly prolific from set pieces, have fared far better than the Magpies this season - netting on 10 occasions. They have scored from two free-kicks (in-direct), six corners and two penalties. Newcastle looked susceptible to concede from almost every single set piece against Swansea last week, even though the Welsh side are poor from these positions. Leicester will definitely target the Magpies here. For all the latest NUFC News, Views and Transfers make sure to follow WhatCultureNUFC on Twitter and Facebook.
