      TEAM NEWS

      Newcastle face a striker shortage, with Andy Carroll and Xisco ruled out with groin injuries and leading scorer Shola Ameobi doubtful with a foot problem.

      Jonas Gutierrez is struggling with a hamstring strain, but Nicky Butt and Joey Barton are fit to return.

      Leicester hope to be cleared to play left-back Ryan McGivern, who has joined on loan from Manchester City.

      Striker Steve Howard should recover from a hamstring injury to face the club he supported as a boy.

      MATCH PREVIEW

      Both these teams have fared well since coming into the Championship from opposite directions.

      606: DEBATE

      Leicester boss Nigel Pearson, who spent 16 months at Newcastle and had two spells as their caretaker manager, has presided over a promising start to the campaign for last season's League One champions.

      The Foxes are undefeated after their first four league matches, and in Matty Fryatt seem to have a striker capable of making an impact at this level.

      They will certainly need some firepower against Newcastle, whose defence has been hugely impressive. The Magpies have not conceded in nearly five-and-a-half hours of league football and have only let in one goal so far this season.

      MATCH FACTS

      Head-to-head

      • Newcastle are unbeaten in six league games against Leicester, and have won the last three at home. Their only home defeat in 14 was in April 2000.

      • These clubs have not met at Championship level for 16 years.

      • Leicester's last visit to St James' Park in this division (May 1993) ended in a 7-1 defeat for the Foxes.

      Newcastle

      • Newcastle have won their last four games in all competitions.

      • They are vying for a fourth successive league win for the first time since April 2006.

      • Geremi could make his 150th English league appearance, and Steven Taylor his 150th club career start.

      Leicester

      • Leicester suffered their first defeat of the season when beaten by Preston in the Carling Cup last Tuesday. In the league, they have won two and drawn two and are unbeaten in 10.

      • Their only defeat in 13 league games came at Peterborough on 28 March.

      • The Foxes are yet to score in the first half of a Championship game this season.

      • Matty Fryatt has scored three goals this season and two more would take his total for Leicester to 50.
