Sam Lockwood: Newcastle need a win today. A draw isn't good enough today and hopefully the lads know this. Nervous is an understatement.

"This is a game with a lot more riding on it than we might have expected just a few weeks back.

"A month ago, Leicester were rock bottom and seven points from safety, while Newcastle were 12th and 10 points clear of the bottom three. How moods and perceptions have changed during April.

"The Foxes' impressive run of 12 points from the last 15 has lifted them above the trap door and given them a realistic chance of staying up, while the Toon's gap to the bottom three has halved to just five points. It's an alarming slide that has seen them fail to collect a single point since beating Aston Villa 1-0 at the end of February."

Newcastle United's form is obviously woeful but their previous in matches with Leicester is decent. The Magpies have won five and lost none of the last nine league matches with the Foxes (although Nigel Pearson's side did beat them in the FA Cup in January).

Leicester City make three changes from the team who lost 3-1 to Chelsea on Wednesday. Matty James, Riyad Mahrez and Jeff Schlupp - who returns from a calf problem - come in for Paul Konchesky, Danny Drinkwater and Andy King.

Newcastle United boss John Carver drops two members of the line-up that lost 3-2 to Swansea on Saturday. Vurnon Anita and Remy Cabella both drop to the bench as Moussa Sissoko returns from suspension and Paul Dummett is back from a knee problem.

Leicester City: Schmeichel, Wasilewski, Huth, Morgan, Albrighton, Cambiasso, James, Mahrez, Schlupp, Ulloa, Vardy. Subs: Schwarzer, De Laet, Konchesky, Drinkwater, Hammond, Wood, Kramaric.

Newcastle United: Krul, Janmaat, Coloccini, Williamson, Dummett, Gutierrez, R Taylor, Colback, Sissoko, Riviere, Perez. Subs: Woodman, Abeid, Anita, Ameobi, Cabella, De Jong, Armstrong.

The rival managers - John Carver and Nigel Pearson - were having a friendly chat in the tunnel before kick-off. Perhaps discussing which of them is more desperate for a win today.

Carver seemed to think he was standing on a Newcastle Metro tram as he holds onto the railing.

In one corner, we have a manager who called a journalist an "ostrich", "stupid" and "daft" during a bizarre post-match news conference.

In the other, we have one who has asked his club for protection from his own fans and invited two supporters around for a "cup of tea" after a heated exchange.

The pressure is starting to show at the bottom of the Premier League.
