Liverpool’s failure to beat Aston Villa on Saturday means the Toon Army can dust off their passports for some Champions League trips next season.
A three point lead with a superior goal advantage and tonight’s game in hand means the Magpies are all but guaranteed a top four finish and with it, direct entry to the top table of European football.
Things couldn’t be any more different for opponents Leicester City who’s fans could be reminding themselves of the whereabouts of the likes of Rotherham, Plymouth and Ipswich ahead of next season.
The Foxes stand on the precipice of relegation, three points from safety with two games to play. It could all come down to a last day showdown with West Ham at the King Power next week but Dean Smith could really do with taking in something at St James’ Park tonight.
There’s nothing to suggest that they will however, unless you think that Newcastle might ease off with their job for the season all but done. It’s more likely that Eddie Howe will send his team out to sign-off in style. They’re 4/11 to win tonight and it’s hard to argue against that.
The Magpies' success has been built on a solid defensive display this season. Only champions Manchester City have conceded fewer goals and the win to nil looks well priced at 13/8 – but it does come with the caveat that they've failed to keep a clean sheet in nine Premier League matches, have recorded just one shutout in 16 and that Leicester have scored in four of their last five outings, scoring nine goals.
Newcastle haven't been in shy in front of goals either. They hit 13 in the last four on Tyneside, only failing to score against Arsenal, they've hit four vs Brighton, three vs Southampton and six vs Spurs. They're 11/10 to hit three or more again this evening.

Could be some value in backing Varnamo corners tonight against Kalmar.
Varnamo are top of the corner count averaging over 8 corners per match,they gathered 9 away at 2nd place Hacken, 6 at 3rd place Elfsborg & a massive 15 at 4th place Norkopping. Varnamo have only given up 14 corners in 4 homes so far
Kalmar are 2nd bottom with an average 3.63 per match which drops to 2.50 away from home. They even lost the corner count 5-2 at bottom club Varbegs.They are also top of the league for corners conceded away from home,they have conceded 36 corners in 4 aways
Varnamo over 6 corners 8/5
Varnamo -1 corner h’cap 23/20
Worth a punt at better odds
Varnamo over 3 1st half corners 21/10
Varnamo -4 corners h’cap 16/5
Went for varnamo over 2 in each half
21/10.
And another,over 3 in each half.

Uruguay U20 v Iraq U20

U20 World Cup
Iraq to score EVENS (SKYBET). 🇮🇶
not a NAP but an interest bet on a poor card.
Uruguay are pretty tedious, very often one team in their games has a nil in the scoreline at full time.
Iraq could be anything, last time they competed in the world cup in 2013 they reached the 3rd play off.
They have just lost in the final of the Asia championship to Uzbekistan who are good at under 20 level.
Iraq beat an impressive Japan team in the semi finals after drawing 2-2 (1-1 in 90 minutes)
Uruguay recently finished 2nd to Brazil in the recent South American championship so they are worthy 2-7 favourites today.
In the last game Brazil beat Uruguay 2-0 to Clinch the trophy.
Only last month Iraq drew 1-1 in a friendly with the same Brazilian team.
So on this tenuous link Iraq could maybe score 🇮🇶
