Fans of Newcastle United will get their first chance to see their new manager as the club head to surprise league leaders Leicester for Monday Night Football. Exactly how much Rafa Benitez will have been able to impact an epically underperforming side in his 3 days in charge will likely temper any sort of takeaway from the match, but the hope within the fan base is that he will have been able to motivate players like Moussa Sissoko who have been adjudged by many to have been disinterested (at best). It is going to be difficult to start a 10-match sprint for Premier League safety with a match against the top team in the table but even still spirits are still high within the Toon Army.
If you haven't watched Rafa's first interview with the club, why not do that to pass the time before kickoff?
