Newcastle United and Leicester City will both be looking to bounce back to winning ways when they face off at St. James’ Park on Saturday. Gameweek 16 of the 2024/25 Premier League season kicks off this weekend, featuring four matches set to start simultaneously. Among them is Newcastle’s clash with Leicester City, a fixture that promises plenty of intrigue.
After focusing solely on domestic competitions this season, Newcastle United had hoped to replicate their top-four charge from the 2022/23 campaign. However, Eddie Howe’s side has struggled for consistency during the first half of the season, winning five, drawing five, and losing five. A win for them is a must now.
Both Teams Aim to Bounce Back

The Magpies’ form has taken a dip recently, with no win in their last four Premier League outings, leaving them in 12th place on the table. In contrast, Leicester City have enjoyed a brighter spell, though they too failed to secure a win in their last league match.
Under Ruud van Nistelrooy’s management, the Foxes have seen a resurgence. The Dutchman has guided his team to an unbeaten run so far, collecting four points from two Premier League games, which has helped Leicester create a five-point cushion over 18th-placed Ipswich Town, boosting their confidence ahead of this matchup.
The last Premier League meeting between Newcastle United and Leicester City at St. James’ Park resulted in a goalless draw, with both sides combining for just five shots on target throughout the match.
