What channel is Newcastle v Leicester on? Kick off time, live stream and latest team news
Newcastle face a tricky test in the shape of Leicester to begin their Premier League fixtures in the New Year live on Sky Sports.
Leicester will hope to wrap up their festive schedule with a win over Newcastle at St James’ Park on Sunday – but are likely to be wary of Steve Bruce’s side.
Newcastle have blown hot and cold this season and will hope 2021 brings them greater fortunes as Bruce eyes a top-half finish in the league.
And with the congestion of Premier League fixtures now almost over, the Toon manager can start planning for the second half of the season soon.
These sides actually last met on New Year’s Day 2020, where the Foxes cruised to a 3-0 victory.
And as the Premier League New Year fixtures come to a close, Brendan Rodgers will be hoping for a repeat scoreline to see in 2021.

Our prediction: Newcastle v Leicester
Leicester spanked Newcastle both home and away last season, scoring eight past the Toon without conceding. And another victory with a clean sheet could be on the cards here.
After all, Leicester’s brand of high-intensity football doesn’t suit this bulky Newcastle outfit – and the likes of Jamie Vardy and James Maddison could run riot here.
Newcastle have been hampered throughout December with a COVID-19 breakout in their squad. But even at full strength it’s the visitors who are favourites to win here.
Our prediction: Newcastle 0-2 Leicester
