Head coach Carver is preparing his team to face Nigel Pearson’s side, who climbed out of the relegation zone at the weekend after winning a fourth successive game.
Pearson – who had a spell at St James’s Park as assistant manager – has dismissed claims he will rest key players against Chelsea ahead of Newcastle’s visit to the King Power Stadium.
Pearson said: “I think any questions that intimate there may be a hint of lack of commitment is pretty poor personally, from either side.
“I think that is an insult to our professionalism.”
