Leicester v West Brom predictions

Leicester have suffered back-to-back 1-0 defeats at Millwall and Plymouth to open the door for Ipswich, Leeds and Southampton in the Championship title race, but the Foxes can steady the ship with an entertaining home win over West Brom.

Leicester remain in the driving seat as they have a game in hand on leaders Ipswich with only one point to make up, and three of their final four matches come at the King Power Stadium.

That’s a blessing given they have won 15 of their 20 home league games this season and this is probably a good time to be facing the Baggies, who are almost assured of their place in the playoffs.

Carlos Corberan’s visitors suffered a 1-0 loss at home to Sunderland last weekend and they have dropped points in four of their last five league outings.

West Brom’s only two wins in their last ten away league matches have come at struggling duo Plymouth and Huddersfield and they may be found wanting at Leicester, who can’t afford any more slip-ups.

That said, given the unrelenting pressure they are under, no clean sheet in seven suggests Enzo Maresca’s men are unlikely to make things easy for themselves.

Key stat

Both teams have scored in eight of Leicester’s last 11 home league matches.
