Leicester City vs Newcastle United: TV channel, live stream, squad news & preview
Leicester City will look to keep themselves out in front of Wolves in the race for seventh place when they welcome Newcastle United on Friday in the Premier League.
The Foxes are still in with a chance of reaching the Europa League by securing the berth below the top six, providing Watford fail to topple Manchester City in next month's FA Cup final.
Brendan Rodgers has won four of his five games in charge so far to help drive their late push up the table, and he will be hopeful of notching up another victory when his side host the fluctuating Magpies at the King Power Stadium.

Rafa Benitez will be unable to call upon Florian Lejeune after the 27-year-old was ruled out for the rest of his season following the injury he sustained in his side's previous defeat to Crystal Palace.
Paul Dummett may be the likely replacement as the Magpies look to pick up points for the first time in three games.
