Leicester City will be hosting Newcastle United at their home base of King Power Stadium on 7 April. The match will be the last one in the match day 31 of the 2024/25 Premier League season. Earlier this season the teams met at St. James’ Park stadium in Newcastle. The game took place on 14 December and ended with the hosting Magpies winning 4 – 0.
Leicester qualified for this season of the Premier League after they won the 2023/24 EFL Championship. However, as they are currently in the 19th position in the league table, the team faces relegation back to the EFL Championship. Newcastle is currently closing the top six of the league table and as such, qualifies for the Conference League play-off round.
Leicester City fired their manager Steve Cooper, who had only been with the club for five months at that point, in the first half of the season. Ruud van Nistelrooy replaced him in this position and continues to lead the club.
Newcastle United continue playing with Eddie Howe who first signed with the club in November 2021. Initially, his contract covered the period until the summer of 2024, however in August 2022 it was extended long-term.
Currently, the Premier League 2024/25 season table looks the following:
