Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s undefeated start for Leicester City continues with his first away visit as manager to the North-East as they take on an out-of-form Newcastle United side on December 14. Here is the Leicester City predicted lineup as the Foxes look to build upon their recent upturn in form.<\/p>\n
Sunday afternoon’s 2-2\u00a0 draw with Brighton saw two late goals win the Foxes a point as Van Nistelrooy made little change outside of Jordan Ayew replacing Facundo Buonanotte as the Argentine was ineligible against his parent club.<\/span><\/p>\n Mads Hermansen once again started in goal with another fantastic performance, whilst the centre-backs Jannik Vestergaard and Conor Coady seem to be the Dutchman’s favourite pairing so far. James Justin has started both games on the right side of defence and on the opposite flank Victor Kristiansen seems to have solidified his place after back-to-back starts.<\/span><\/p>\n Read More:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>Newcastle United predicted lineup against Brentford<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The double pivot of Wilfred Ndidi and Boubakary Soumar\u00e9 appeared for a fifth consecutive game, but both will be unavailable against the Magpies. On the wings, Kasey McAteer and Bilal El Khannouss have begun both games under their new manager but off the bench with Stephy Mavididi and Bobby De Cordova-Reid impressing. Meanwhile, in the centre, Facundo Buonanotte and Jordan Ayew have shared minutes thus far.<\/span><\/p>\n Jamie Vardy has been back to his best in recent weeks, as he has tallied seven goals and assists<\/a> combined in his last seven outings.<\/span><\/p>\n With an unbeaten start to life under their new manager, the Foxes have new hope in their bid to stay in the Premier League. The four points secured at the King Power Stadium in their last two games have been enough to keep them five points above the relegation zone in 16th.<\/span><\/p>\n The weekend’s draw saw the 4-2-3-1 formation ever-present as Viktor Kristiansen progressed as high as a winger, with James Justin slotting into centre-back to make a 3-2-4-1 when in possession. The system has seen relative success so far, as four points from six have been picked up but the defence is still suspect.<\/span><\/p>\nLeicester City\u2019s Recent Form and Tactics<\/h3>\n
