I would have some hope for Leicester v Newcastle given they celebrated like their win over Brighton had sealed it, like it's alreayd done and dusted, if I thought Dean Smith was capable of setting up to frustrate and counter them with Vardy and Maddison in a 4411 with Barnes and possibly Tielemans breaking from deeper or a 4141 with Vardy up top, Maddison right and Barnes left
I don't think there's any point in Dean Smith playing Barnes up against Trippier, he's been Newcastle's star player, very good defending and attacking and when he is in trouble, he commits a foul he gets away with because he's and Engerland player and Southgate favourite, but I'm pretty certain Smith will try and play 433 and Trippier will easily nullify Barnes played up against him and Leicester won't get the opportunities to open Newcastle up
Newcastle need at least a point and will almost certainly be trying to go for the win from the off to avoid the risk of getting sucker punched and having to win away at Chelsea on the last day
