Premier League: Leicester aim to stretch lead over struggling Newcastle

Newcastle Boss Rafa Benitez faces top of the table Leicester in his first game in charge of the magpies this evening. Leicester can regain their five point lead at the top of the Premier League in the game that kicks-off at midnight UAE time. Benitez has taken the helm after Newcastle sacked sacked Steve McClaren last week. Foxes star Riyad Mahrez is available after shaking off an injury, but Newcastle will give a late fitness test to Fabricio Coloccini and Andros Townsend.
