Leicester City vs West Brom lineups, team news
Leicester City missed two chances to secure a top-two spot in the Championship after two straight shutout defeats, first at Millwall and then at Plymouth Argyle.
Now against West Brom, manager Enzo Maresca will be hoping that having Kelechi Iheanacho back in the lineup can help deliver some goals. Only Harry Souttar will be out for this game, meaning Maresca has the ability to pick a strong squad ahead of this important match. Jamie Vardy could also be ready to start and lead his team back to the Premier League
Leicester City (4-2-3-1, right to left): Hermansen (GK) — Pereira, Faes, Vestergaard, Doyle — Winks, Praet — Daka, Dewsbury-Hall, Iheanacho — Vardy
Leicester City subs (9): TBA
West Brom enters this match also coming off a defeat, losing 1-0 last week to Sunderland. Even worse, starting striker Brandon Thomas-Asante is out after picking up a second yellow card and subsequent red card dismissal in the last match. With Daryl Dike out, West Brom coach Carlos Corberan will have to look deep down his bench for a replacement.
West Brom (4-2-3-1 right to left): Palmer (GK) — Furlong, Bartley, Kipre, Reach — M'Vila, Yokuslu — Johnston, Swift, Fellows — Matthew
West Brom subs (9): TBA
Leicester City vs West Brom prediction
Both clubs have more to gain than lose heading into the match, so we can expect to see an end-to-end battle.

Expect this game to go along those lines, with Leicester City going away happy from this crucial home matchup.
