Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Leicester's Premier League clash with Newcastle from the King Power Stadium. Three wins from their last four league games has driven many to believe this Leicester side are a real contender for a top six spot, and some believe they can even break into the top four this season. A win over Newcastle today will see them go third, and leave the visitors marooned second from bottom. I'm Pete Hall, and I will be bringing you the action, as it happens, live.

FT: Leicester 5-0 Newcastle. Miserable afternoon for the visitors but Leicester were far too good for the 10 men of Newcastle. The damage was done in the second half with four goals scored as the Foxes go third. Thanks for joining us. Goodbye.
