Leicester City v West Bromwich Albion: match preview

Leicester City v West Bromwich Albion
Leicester City v West Bromwich Albion: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

Unbeaten in four matches in all competitions, Leicester are enjoying their best run of the season, yet are still some way short of their title-winning form. They will have to do without Kasper Schmeichel against West Brom after he fractured his hand against Copenhagen. Ron-Robert Zieler, Schmeichel’s deputy, can expect some sort of aerial assault against an Albion side without a win in five matches and reeling from last Saturday’s hammering at home to Manchester City.
