But against the high-flying Foxes it’ll be easier said than done.
The Magpies were flat against Arsenal on Sunday in their 2-0 loss and Steve Bruce is likely to make changes at the King Power Stadium tonight.
Here’s who our Newcastle United writer Liam Kennedy would select from the off, with a midfield change definitely on the agenda.

. Martin Dubravka
Does this even need justifying? Not for me, even if the Slovak probably could have done better with Arsenal's first last weekend. Photo: Stu Forster
. Jacob Murphy
I'm sticking with wing backs - and while Murphy has been quieter these last few weeks he's still the best option on the right in this system. Photo: Pool
. Federico Fernandez
Out of contract in the summer and on his way out? The Argentine has been top class for United but not so much recently. An interesting few weeks await. Photo: Stu Forster
9. Miguel Almiron
One of the candidates to be replaced by Willock, with his form dropping off a cliff since being dropped back into an ill-suited midfield berth. His workrate and busy nature keep him in for me. Photo: LEE SMITH
10. Allan Saint-Maximin
Didn't work for him against Arsenal but he was not the only one. Still United's top dribbler and the best statistically outside the top six last weekend. Photo: Stu Forster
11. Callum Wilson
The best striker on United's books so has to start. Was starved of anything resembling service against the Gunners but will be keen to get on the end of something this weekend and add to his 10-goal haul. Photo: Pool
