10 Key Match Facts Ahead Of Leicester City Vs NUFC

10. 5 - Matches Since The Magpies Beat Leicester Away

Newcastle need to end their own miserable away run - but they will have to do it in a city where they haven't had much luck in recent years. It was six trips ago, and way back in December 1999, that Newcastle last triumphed away against the Foxes - running out 2-1 victors at the old Filbert Street thanks to goals from Duncan Ferguson and Alan Shearer. The Magpies then drew four matches in a row at Leicester before the Foxes beat them 1-0 at the King Power Stadium in the FA Cup third round in January. Newcastle need a point minimum this weekend.
