View Newcastle United v Leicester City head to head

Newcastle United had won 14 of the last 16 league meetings with Leicester City at St James' Park. As a mark of respect for the victims of the terrorist attacks on Paris the previous weekend, La Marseillaise, the French national anthem, was played before the start of this match. Premier League chief Richard Scudamore called it an act of “solidarity and remembrance” after the Paris attacks. Kick-off: 3.00pm

League position: 1st With this win, Leicester City went to the top of the Premier League for the first time since 13 October 2000. At the same stage of the 2014-15 season, the Foxes were bottom of the table with only two wins from 13 games. By scoring in this game, Jamie Vardy equalled the record for scoring in ten consecutive Premier League games. The feat was previously achieved by Manchester United's Ruud Van Nistelrooy between 22 March 2003 and 23 August 2003 when, coincidentally, his tenth game of the run was also at St James' Park. In the pre-Premier League era, Stan Mortensen scored in each of Blackpool's 11 games in the top division (old League Division One) between 3 February 1951 and 7 April 1951, in part of a run when he scored in all 15 league games that he played in for the Tangerines between 23 December 1950 and 21 April 1951. The all-time record for the top division that only features every league game played by the club is 12 by Jimmy Dunne for Sheffield United from 24 October 1931 to 1 January 1932. That was part of a run when he scored in all 13 of 13 league games he played in. Elsewhere in the Football League, Tom Phillipson scored in all 13 of Wolverhampton Wanderers' games in old League Division Two between 6 November 1926 and 9 February 1927. Jamie Vardy scored in the first minute of added time in the first-half.
