Leicester City vs Newcastle United - 02/05/2015

Chelsea may have run away with the title and the Champions League places are all but set in stone, but there's still plenty to settle in Premier League. The relegation battle is one of the more fascinating in many a year with any three from seven teams still looking in grave danger.

It all kicks off at 12:45pm (BST) as Leicester entertain beleaguered Newcastle United at the King Power Stadium. It has been a strange few weeks for Leicester City. Stuck on 19 points and seemingly doomed over a month ago, four straight wins have seen the Foxes haul themselves out of the relegation zone. They came unstuck against champions elect Chelsea on Wednesday night, but Nigel Pearson had to be encouraged with the spirit his side demonstrated throughout. Pearson continues to do himself no favours away from the field however. His bizarre ostrich rant after the Chelsea defeat was over hyped by the media, but Pearson needs to learn how to keep his composure. The danger is his antics could take the gleam off what has been a fabulous run for the Midlands side. However, even if the players are affected by the strange antics of their eccentric manager, Newcastle United are a club in turmoil. Seven straight defeats compounded by some pub league defending have seen the Magpie's sucked into a relegation dogfight. The only favourable thing for Newcastle is their final four fixtures. All four of their games do look winnable if they can significantly up their performance levels. They have to host West Brom and West Ham, who both have little to play for, and travel to QPR, who may already be relegated by the time that fixture comes around. I think Newcastle will be survive by the skin of their teeth. I cannot see them not picking up a victory from one of those three fixtures. The reality of their situation has to dawn on them at some point and there will be a result in there somewhere to match. That victory will not come today, however. Leicester have turned a corner and they will simply overwhelm Newcastle with their all out attacking style at the King Power Stadium.
