The English Premier League season is really starting to wind down now with only a few really crucial flash points still yet to sort themselves out. The title is not officially at Stamford Bridge yet, we all expect Chelsea to land the trophy and there will be plenty of interesting options for punters looking to stake some dose on the relegation race and the final European spots.

It’s down in the relegation zone where things really look interesting right now and there is a lot of football still to be played with Newcastle now starting to be included as potential relegation candidates on the back of their 7 game losing skid. Things really started to go downhill quickly when Alan Pardew left for his former club Crystal Palace and promptly turned them around in a mid-table side.
For the Magpies, it has been the complete opposite as they have been struggling with a caretaker manager who does not seem to have the support of the dressing room while the fans are ratcheting up their loud protests against Mike Ashley and his ownership group at the club.
Newcastle face a crunch clash in the opening tie of the day on this coming Saturday with Leicester City hosting the northern club. Leicester also looks like they have a decent shot of avoiding relegation as they have been stringing together a good series of victories and have ground out some results when they really needed it the most.
The Foxes are getting the distinct edge from the bookmaker with odds hovering around 19/20 as we get the early prices on Monday coming in. Newcastle are a very lengthy 14/5 for the victory here and it probably goes without saying that they would have gone off as the betting favourites if this fixture had happened mid-way through the season, which shows you just how far things have fallen for Newcastle.
Simply put, they must stop the bleeding and you’ll find the draw at 5/2 - which neither team will be playing for. Newcastle need all three points here and they are in serious trouble if they don’t pull this one off.
