West Bromwich Albion v Leicester City: match preview

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

West Bromwich Albion will celebrate Jeff Astle Day hoping to overcome last weekend’s humbling at the hands of QPR, when Tony Pulis’s team shipped four goals to leave them with only one win from their past five games in all competitions. Leicester, buoyed by a win over West Ham a week ago, need to keep building momentum if they are to defy the odds and survive an immediate return to the Championship. They sit six points from safety but have a favourable run-in. Alan Smith
