Leicester City v Newport – Where to watch EFL Cup tie on TV

Leicester City and Newport County face each other at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday evening, as both teams battle for a spot in the fourth round of the EFL Cup tonight.

Both teams have previously met once, with Newport County pulling off a huge upset win over the Premier League side three years ago.

Leicester are finding their feet in the Premier League at the moment, with James Maddison making plenty of difference.

Can Graham Coughlan’s men repeat that feat, or will the Foxes emerge victorious at the end of this fixture?

What TV channel is Leicester vs Newport on?

The match is available on beIN television network and Supersport throughout Europe. Bet365 are also going live in play from the King Power Stadium from 19:45 BST.

Leicester City’s form has improved over the course of their season; they had a slow start to their Premier League campaign, winning one of their first 10 league matches.

The Foxes have three wins in four games played since then. It’s worth noting that Leicester’s improved form is due, in part, to their solid defense; they kept four clean sheets in their last five matches, conceding just once.

Brendan Rodgers’s men squared off against Stockport County in the previous round of this tournament; they played out a goalless draw, eventually winning on penalties.

Newport County kicked off their FA Cup campaign in style, as they knocked out Colchester United. Graham Coughlan’s men have enjoyed some fine form in recent weeks; they have no losses in their last five matches, with three wins and two draws.

Like tonight’s opponents, Newport County’s defense has stepped up recently; they kept three clean sheets in their last four matches, allowing just one goal.

It’s fair to mention that Newport County knocked out Luton Town and Portsmouth in the first two rounds of this tournament. However, compared to these two, Leicester City will be a relatively harder nut to crack.

The Foxes are a Premier League outfit, while Newport County ply their trade in League Two.

To be fair, Newport County pulled off an impressive victory over Leicester City in their previous meeting three years ago; they’ll hope for a similar result today.

We have already established that these teams don’t concede a lot of goals. Leicester City have seen their defense breached just once in their last five games, while Newport County conceded just once in their last four matches.

As a result, most of their recent games have been on the low-scoring side.
