Steve Walsh column: Leicester City set for dramatic night at Newcastle

It has been a mixed week for Leicester City, but I am far from complaining. Last Saturday's win over Barnsley, despite only being 1-0, was convincing, and I saw enough to know that we are on the right track.

However, this was tempered slightly by defeat in the week at Preston, which ended our chances of repeating the League Cup success on the 10th anniversary of our 2000 triumph.

On Monday City will need to be as focused as ever for the biggest test of Nigel Pearson's time at the club – Newcastle away, in front of the TV cameras.
