Newcastle United boss Rafa Benitez is impressed by Friday night's opponents Leicester City.

Benitez knows he will have to be clever if he stays on Tyneside beyond June and won't have riches like recent title winners Leicester.

He said: “If you look at them, they were champions three years ago, they have a good team now, and the future is looking good for them. What they have now is a very good team.

"They won the league three years ago, players with that experience, good young players, good internationals, and three young English players. It's a strong."
