West Bromwich Albion vs Leicester Preview
West Brom are bottom of the table, 8 points from safety and with just nine games remaining, time is running out for Alan Pardew’s side. The Baggies have now registered six consecutive defeats, making them the bookmakers favourites to go down. Whilst their home form has been slightly better to that on the road, they have still only picked up 13 points from a possible 42 at The Hawthorns where they have won just twice all season.
A rare win at home to Brighton in January was followed by three consecutive home defeats to Southampton, first in the league and then the FA Cup, and Huddersfield. Despite finding the net in all of those games, West Brom’s defence has been leaking goals which has lead to a number of defeats.
Hal Robson-Kanu, Nacer Chadli, James Morrison and Daniel Sturridge will all miss Saturday’s game through injury whilst Gareth Barry is unlikely to recover from his knee injury in time to feature.
Leicester are a comfortable 8th in the Premier League. Ten points off the bottom three and eight off a chance to play in Europe next term. They’re looking likely to finish around where they are now but have hit a poor run of form recently. Claude Puel’s side are now five games without a win in the league and will be looking to take maximum points away on Saturday against a West Brom side in even poorer form. The Foxes have struggled for goals recently and haven’t scored more than once in a league game since the middle of January.
Leicester’s last two matches have ended in 1-1 draws at home to Stoke and Bournemouth. They had to rely on a goalkeeping error from Jack Butland to earn a point against Stoke and a 97th-minute free kick from Riyad Mahrez saved them against Bournemouth and so Puel will be hoping his side can be more convincing in front of goal against a weak West Brom defence.
Daniel Amartey is likely to be replaced by Danny Simpson at right-back after coming off injured in Leicester’s last match against Bournemouth. Shinji Okazaki could make a return from injury to feature at some point in the game.

West Bromwich Albion vs Leicester Predictions
Neither side are in particularly good form but it is West Brom who have shown no signs of improvement. With games against Bournemouth, Burnley and Swansea following Saturday’s game before coming up against Manchester United and Liverpool, this could be an excellent chance for West Brom to turn their season around late on and fight for survival. However, we’ve seen little to suggest that they will do that and we expect Leicester to impose more misery on The Baggies by leaving The Hawthorns with all three points. With Leicester not being prolific in front of goal, we’re expecting a low-scoring game and can see the visitors snatching a 1-0 victory.

Leicester won this fixture last year 1-0 when a first half goal from Jamie Vardy was enough for The Foxes to take home three points from The Hawthorns. Their last meeting resulted in a 1-1 draw at the King Power Stadium when Nacer Chadli’s goal was cancelled out in the 80th minute by Riyad Mahrez.
Matches between these two sides have proved quite close with the last time a side won by more than one goal being all the way back in 2010.
