An 11-game unbeaten run for West Brom came to a surprising
end last week as they were upstaged by mid-table Sunderland.
It was a tough afternoon out for the Baggies, who played
more than half the game a man down after Brandon Thomas-Asante was sent off for two
bookable offences.
With the hunt for play-off spots still very munch in the air, getting a
result at the King Power Stadium today could prove crucial for the fifth-placed
visitors.
Faltering Leicester in need of victory
Leicester v West Brom (12:30 BST)
Leicester City have managed to turn a wobble at the top into a tumble and stumble in their bid for automatic promotion.
The big question, however, is can they avoid their dismal run of three wins from 10 league game from turning into a full-blown catastrophe?
While they have lost their past two games - both against relegation threatened sides - they have managed to win their past two at home.
Picking up a third successive win at the King Power Stadium feels like a must today.
Last time they met…
Leicester v West Brom (12:30 BST)
We were treated to a thrilling conclusion the last time these
two sides met.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall had put the Foxes ahead at The Hawthorns, but Josh Maja came up with a last-minute goal to level.
Then as the Baggies chased a dramatic late winner, it was actually
Leicester that came out on top, thanks to Harry Winks’ injury-time strike.
That win moved Leicester above Ipswich at the time and returned
them to the top of the table.
The Foxes again need a result today to do the same.

enjoyed celebrations and sought commiserations across the three divisions
already.
Where there hasn't been any joy so far, is the top of the Championship.
And that is where our focus will be fixed first up today, as
second-placed Leicester City host fifth placed-West Brom.
We will also have updates from already-promoted Wrexham’s League
