Newcastle United fans were paying close attention to Liverpool's visit to Leicester City, for obvious reasons, on Monday night. As such many of the Geordie faithful caught a glimpse of Magpies sporting director Dan Ashworth taking in the Premier League clash from the comfort of the King Power stands.
Of course, it is no surprise to see Newcastle's hierarchy playing close attention to that top flight clash in particular. Liverpool, who recorded an impressive 3-0 win in front of Ashworth, have found form at the right time with seven wins on the spin to move within a solitary point of Newcastle and Manchester United in the nail-biting race for a place at Europe's top table.
Leicester, on the other hand, are now all but nailed on to succumb to relegation after almost a decade of top flight success. Dean Smith's struggling side travel to Tyneside on Monday night knowing their fate could be sealed under the St James' Park lights.
