Player to Watch: Miguel Almiron
Newcastle Paraguayan international will be hoping that his fine early season form continues following the international break, as he has been the stand-out player for the Toon Army.
It took the 28-year-old a fair amount of time to settle in England but under Eddie Howe, he has released his true potential and is now a goalscoring force from midfield.
This is Almiron's fourth full season at St James' Park and the midfielder has scored 8 goals in 15 league games so far making him the club's top scorer. Almiron will be aiming to reach double figures in the Premier League for the first time and may even surpass his previous best total of 13 which he scored for Atlanta United in their title-winning season of 2018.
Almiron is the player lớn watch at The King Power Stadium because if he plays well he will probably score and that usually leads lớn a Newcastle victory.
