Game On! Newcastle v Leicester
Game On at St James' Park Welcome one and all to this 'Game On' feature which today will take us through our clash with Leicester City.
Much of the focus has indeed been on Leicester in the build up to the game, which is the price you pay for being so high in the league I guess, and especially on Jamie Vardy who will be seeking to equal a Premier League record today. You can use this Bet 365 Bonus Code to enhance your odds if you're backing Vardy to make history today.
For the part of Steve McClaren and United it is entirely up the them to stop Leicester in their tracks. However they will need to be careful should they go into the lead as we've seen so many times that this Leicester side just does not give up.
The match preview went live last night and can be viewed here. It features news of injury updates for both sides, a look at the history of the fixture, some on my thoughts and some handy stats and facts to wash it all down with.
In terms of actual team news you can find it at the bottom of this article a little under one hour before kick-off and you're looking for a stream I'm sure our regulars will post a link or two in the 'comments' section below.
Events in Paris will be marked at every Premier League ground today but with the largest French contingent in the Premier League on our books it may perhaps be more raw within St James' Park than at other grounds.
But as tragic as those events were it is a fact that things move on, and that applies to NUFC too! For we must move on and start putting points on the board.
Howay the lads!
