    Leonardo Ulloa takes a running jump to a high ball in the West Brom area but his header lacks power and direction, drifting wide of the left post. Seconds later Marc Albrighton hits a low shot that curls a a yard wide of the right-hand stick.

    Chris Brunt puts a hopeful pass about 20 yards too far in front of James McClean, summing up West Brom's display so far.

    It's slightly better from the home side, but the final pass is lacking, with Saido Berahino remonstrating with his midfield for not giving him the chance to shine.

    Murmurs of disapproval as Darren Fletcher overhits a long pass towards Salomon Rondon. Not a great start from the hosts.

    Marc Albrighton lines up a shot in the area, but Craig Dawson flings himself in the way. The visitors have made the better start of the two, that's for sure.

    West Brom 0-0 Leicester

    Jamie Vardy's a busy boy already, winning Leicester the game's first corner. He actually gets the ball in the net after a neat backheel from Leonardo Ulloa but the Argentine is flagged for a very marginal offside.

    Jeffrey Schlupp bursts down the left flank, but with Jamie Vardy and Leonado Ulloa waiting for a cross in the area, the left-back's touch is leaden-footed and the ball goes out for a goal kick.

    West Brom v Leicester (15:00 GMT)

    This week saw Foxes boss Claudio Ranieri make good on his promise to treat his players to a pizza if they kept a clean sheet for the first time this season, which they did when edging out Crystal Palace 1-0 last week.

    "What we are doing here is like a pizza," said the affable Italian in the build-up to today's match.  "To do well you have to have the right ingredients - players, team spirit, fans - and you need a sprinkle of good luck.

    "The fans are the tomato. Without tomato there is no pizza! The topping for all of us would be to get to 40 points."

    Stop it please, Claudio, you're making me hungry...

    Salomon Rondon is proving the home fans' choice for pictures upon arrival at The Hawthorns. Perhaps for his goal-scoring exploits, rather than taste in hats.

  16. Vardy - more goals than West Brompublished at 14:45

    West Brom v Leicester (15:00 GMT)

    Alistair Bruce-Ball
    BBC Radio 5 live commentator at The Hawthorns

    "West Brom - 10 Premier League games, eight goals; Jamie Vardy - 10 games, 10 goals.

    "The 28-year-old has also scored more Premier League goals than Liverpool and Stoke this season and his manager, Claudio Ranieri, has said this week that not only do the club not want to sell him but it is only the likes of Real Madrid who could afford him at the moment. , external

    "So can West Brom stop him scoring in an eighth consecutive Premier League game?

    "Tony Pulis has got the Baggies back to what they do best. They come into this one on the back of 1-0 wins against Sunderland and Norwich, so they'll certainly be a tough nut to crack."

  20. Baggies in Vardy's sightspublished at 14:37 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2015

    West Brom v Leicester (15:00 GMT)

    Two straight wins have pushed West Brom up to 10th in the table, and clean sheets in both those victories - over Sunderland and Norwich - added an impressive sheen.

    But Tony Pulis' back line have to contend with Leicester's Jamie Vardy, a man for whom the phrase 'bang in form' seems perfectly apt right now. 

    He's netted in seven consecutive Premier League outings, and has 10 in total so far. Will that hot streak continue today?
