We’re off to the Premier League for today’s best bet as Newcastle look to secure Champions League football for next season when they play host to relegation-threatened Leicester.

It’s been an outstanding season for Newcastle, who come into this clash in third spot on the ladder, needing just one more point to confirm a top four finish and Champions League qualification.

Newcastle have only lost to Arsenal and Liverpool at home all season and are primed for a big win against a Leicester side who appeared destined for the drop.

Newcastle have won five of their last six home game and there’s been plenty of goals in most of them, beating Brighton 4-1, Southampton 3-1, Tottenham 6-1, Man United 2-0 and Wolves 2-1.

With this in mind, we’re backing Newcastle to win with Over 2.5 goals here.

Leicester have lost six of their last nine games and are coming off back-to-back defeats to Liverpool and Fulham by 0-3 and 3-5 scores.

Overall, Leicester have seen Over 2.5 goals in five of their last six games, while eight of the last nine meetings between the teams have produced three goals or more.

Newcastle have won four of the last five meetings, including twice already this season in the league and EFL Cup.

The stage is set for celebrations at St James Park and Newcastle should send their fans into raptures with a big win.
