    Leicester 0-0 West Brom

    It's a hat-trick of big chances for Mikey Johnston now.

    Again the winger cuts the ball onto his right to make space for the shot, but this effort sails well over the bar.

    Leicester's defence have no answer for Johnston at the minute.

    Leicester 0-0 West Brom

    Again Mikey Johnston has Leicester in a panic!

    It's all West Brom right now, and the winger fires a fierce low shot on target but it is directly at Mads Hermansen, who saves with his legs.

    IT'S OFF THE LINE!

    I thought Mikey Johnston was a cert to score there. He's done everything right and then Hamza Choudhury stuck a leg out. What a let off for Leicester.

    Leicester 0-0 West Brom

    Hamza Choudhury comes up as Leicester's hero on the the goal line!

    He is back to clear Mikey Johnston's effort, when the Baggies attacker had the whole goal to shoot at after digging the ball out from under his feet.

    A stunning run from Jed Wallace on the right, and great pull-back pass for Johnston set that chance up.

    Leicester 0-0 West Brom

    Jed Wallace is a lurking threat for West Brom when a low cross is flashed in from the right for West Brom.

    The Baggies captain can't get his boot on the end of it at the near post, with Mads Hermansen cradling the ball in his arms.

    Again there are groans of frustrations in the stands at the flag goes up for offside.

    This time it is Stephy Mavididi who goes too early for Leicester. It was a carbon copy of what Jamie Vardy did minutes earlier.

    Max: I think Southampton win their last four and still finish third on goal difference. Leicester 1st, Ipswich 2nd.

    Richard Nash: As a Saints fan, I'd say Southampton but it's literally the first time I've said this all season. We are in form, everyone has written us off! If we win today it's really on! I can see Leicester and/or Ipswich dropping points... Come on you Reds!

    Leicester 0-0 West Brom

    Boos ring out around the King Power Stadium as referee Thomas Bramall pulls play back after Conor Townsend went down. Leicester had seemed ready to spring forward on the right.

    Abdul Fatawu caught the defender with his arm, but no major harm was done.

    The referee was right to check on him to see if it was a more serious head knock.

    Leicester 0-0 West Brom

    A half chance of a quick break presents itself for Leicester, but Jamie Vardy is flagged for offside.

    The former England striker will be frustrated that he went a touch early there.

    Leicester 0-0 West Brom

    A robust challenge from Alex Mowatt on Abdul Fatawu on the right sets Leicester up for a free-kick in a dangerous area.

    It was a soft foul, but the Baggies do well to defend the set-piece when it is floated in.

    Great opportunity. You know when a player puts his head in his hands, you know Okay Yokuslu thinks that was his. He's just got to keep that ball down and he's got himself a goal. We've already seen him score a cracker from that distance.

    This is so open in the early stages. It's only been three minutes...

    Crewe 0-0 Wrexham

    We're also under way in the other early kick-off of the day, which comes from League Two.

    Wrexham have already guaranteed back-to-back promotions and can no longer catch champions Stockport.

    Crewe start the day fifth and need two more points from their final two games to secure a play-off spot.

    Leicester 0-0 West Brom

    Leicester City almost make a horror start.

    The Foxes try play it out from the back. Goalkeeper Mads Hermansen trades passes with Hamza Choudhry, but it is Okay Yokuslu who ends up on the ball for West Brom.

    The chance opens up for the Turkey international in the box, but he blasts his shot wastefully over the bar. A big chance, that.

    Leicester 0-0 West Brom

    Leicester defender Conor Coady is making his first start since early March. As an ex-England international, he brings a ton of experience to the backline today.

    He started the week by shedding light on what it feels like to be in this bonkers automatic promotion race.

    He admits it has been impossible to ignore how Ipswich, Leeds and Southampton have been getting on, and taking note of what points those clubs have and have not picked up in recent weeks.

    Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club, he said "it is natural" for footballers to look at results around them but "it 100% affects you" too.

    "We have spoken as a team over the last week and said the results we have had at Leicester are the only thing that matters and we should not concentrate on all the others," said Coady.

    So, in keeping with that previous post and story.... Who do you think will clinch promotion to the Premier League?

    The race for the top two has spawned countless comedic memes. And honestly, it's sort of playing out like a comedy drama right now.

    But who will be left laughing and who will be the punchline?

  18. Who will win automatic promotion?published at 12:26 British Summer Time 20 April

    What once looked like a one horse race for the Championship title, has turned into a mad scramble at the summit.

    Not only that, but with three weeks left of the season it is a four-way tussle between Ipswich, Leicester, Leeds and Southampton for two automatic promotion spots as well.

    One would have to be brave, or some sort supercomputer, to confidently make their picks.

    Oh wait, Opta seem to have run 10,000 'supercomputer' simulations looking for an answer.

    And the computer said... Leicester are favourites despite successive defeats and a tough upcoming fixture list.

    They have a 62% chance of winning the title and 84% of sealing promotion. Ipswich have a 62% chance of securing back-to-back promotions.

    There were pre-game doubts about Leicester City's Jamie Vardy and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, but both start today.

    Ricardo Pereira, who also has question marks over him, is named on the bench. Fit-again Kasey McAteer is also among the substitutes.
