Rafa Benitez has just announced the Newcastle team for the tough game at Leicester City tonight.
In spite of Mo Diame being fit Ki Sung-yueng keeps his place in tonight’s team with Paul Dummett coming in for the injured Florian Lejeune.
Javier Manquillo – starts tonight
And right-back Javier Manquillo gets a rare start coming in for DeAndre Yedlin, who is dropped and on the bench for tonight’s game.

Comment #153Perez gets that pass over with a little less weight Almiron would have been one on one with the keeper. Hope his first isn’t too far away.

Comment #156Good half. Feels like we’re firmly in control, not giving them much of a sight of goal and look like scoring another ourselves.
Perez was excellent, seems to like playing against Leicester away!
