The Newcastle team is currently above Liverpool in the points table, which is indeed a matter of pride for them. Because the Liverpool team that was once an exceptionally good team is currently performing very poorly. But Newcastle are playing every match very responsibly and ensuring victory.
The Newcastle team deserve every atom of respect for being at the top 4 on the log, they came with this mentality of going into every game and getting a positive result since the beginning of this campaign and it did workout for them, with Liverpool struggling to get to the top at this stage of the season is going to be very difficult because having to know how good Newcastle are they're not ready to let that Champions league spot to slide.
It will only take a miracle to happen for Newcastle to fall off the top 4 which is not going to be that easy, and we also have Manchester United who are also trying to make it to the top 4 so the race is on. Newcastle continuing their wonderful form, I feel against Leicester would be a game they [Newcastle] needs to be careful of, because anything can happen.
