Albion entered the top half of the table thanks to consecutive 1-0 wins against Sunderland and Norwich but a resilient defence will face a different test in Jamie Vardy, whose 10 goals from 10 make him the Premier League’s top marksman. His relationship with Riyad Mahrez has been one of the season’s great joys so far. Claudio Ranieri, the Leicester manager, made 10 changes for the penalty shootout defeat to Hull in the League Cup but could name the same team that beat Crystal Palace in last weekend’s league game.
