Newcastle United fans are still on a high after the narrow but precious 1-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers last Friday night.
They sit on 34 points with a 10-point buffer above third-bottom Burnley have a game in hand and must face United on the final day of the season. By that time United will hope that it is all over and they can take a significant step to the Turf Moor meeting being a dead rubber fixture by beating the Foxes this weekend.
If Newcastle can control the game in the same way they managed against Wolves they have every chance of another three points. And of course, there is surely a bit of revenge on the agenda after the 4-0 thrashing at the King Power Stadium back in December.
Lee Ryder's prediction
Leicester set up with a 4-2-3-1 formation more often than not and that was more than a match for Newcastle during that heavy defeat back in December. That day Eddie Howe, who was still learning about the squad at his disposal, opted for a 4-4-2 formation.
Despite winning more tackles and aerial battles, as well as having more possession, Newcastle lost the game after the afternoon was turned by a controversial penalty award when James Maddison overplayed a challenge from Jamaal Lascelles.
The second half proved to be a write off for Howe and his staff and the defeat left the alarm bells ringing. But Newcastle have recovered remarkably since then.
Putting aside Leicester's European travels this week, which might affect fatigue levels, Newcastle will be confident of another home win. Make a positive start in the game and crank the crowd levels up even more and it could be a long afternoon for City.
I'm expecting a convincing performance and three points from Eddie Howe's Magpies.

Jarred Gillett (Queensland)
The official made history when he took charge of Newcastle's 1-1 draw at Watford when he became the first non-British referee to call a Premier League game.
Since then he has taken charge of five top-flight matches and impressed observers with his ability to let the game flow a little.
