Newcastle's recent dominance contrasts with Tottenham's struggles. Leicester aim to bolster their defense amid a losing streak.
Antonee Robinson is in great form while Eberechi Eze and Erling Haaland look to keep scoring after strong performances last time out. Newcastle arrive on the back of four league wins and four clean sheets. Tottenham have only one victory in their last seven league games, conceding four goals against Chelsea before being hammered by a dominant side. Spurs have had little trouble scoring but there are concerns about their captain, Son Heung-min.
The South Korean has had a quiet season by his high standards, scoring seven goals in all competitions so far, with an eighth attempt denied by a missed penalty against Wolves. Hamstring troubles hampered him earlier in the season and, amidst Spurs’ wider difficulties, there is the subplot of a change in their attack. Dejan Kulusevski has become the central figure; Brennan Johnson, playing on the right, is Spurs’ leading goalscorer across all competitions; Dominic Solanke is steadily finding his way. With Son approaching a decade in north London, the future is taking shape. Leicester have suffered four consecutive defeats but should not be too disheartened, especially considering that run has included visits to Anfield and St James’ Park. Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side were much improved in the defeat to Manchester City but smart January transfers are essential. Scoring has not been a problem – Leicester have netted more than – but they look light at centre-back. In January 2015, the loan signing of Robert Huth helped save Leicester’s Premier League status before their remarkable title the following season. “It’s important to use my network in opportunities to strengthen the squad,” remarked Van Nistelrooy this week. Victor Lindelöf has been linked. That would be a smart move for Leicester, who could leap out of the relegation places with a win at Villa. Manchester United have been linked with the 21-year-old, who has excelled for Bournemouth
