Rafa Benitez’s Newcastle side lock horns with Leicester at the King Power Stadium tonight, aiming to take another step towards Premier League safety. The Magpies go into the game seven points clear of Cardiff, who are in the relegation zone scrapping for survival. Leicester, meanwhile, are above Wolves in the race for the Europa League slots with Rodgers impressing in his role as manager so far. The former Celtic boss was appointed as Claude Puel’s successor at the end of February, at a time where Benitez was also being linked amid uncertainy over his Newcastle future.
