West Bromwich Albion v Leicester City: match preview

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

Craig Shakespeare returns to the club where he made more than 100 appearances and worked as community officer, academy coach and reserve coach, even caretaker manager for one game, in search of the three points that would end any relegation fears for Leicester City. West Brom have lost their way a little, losing the last three and failing to score in four successive league matches – five would be a club record. Matt Phillips and Hal Robson-Kanu are out while Wes Morgan is a doubt for Leicester. Stuart James
