West Brom v Leicester

West Brom vs Leicester Preview

The lunchtime kick-off in Saturday's Championship action features this upcoming clash between West Brom and Leicester City in what is a top five encounter in the English second tier with a valuable three points at stake for both teams, as West Brom look to make it three league wins on the trot while Leicester City will be keen to maintain their position at the top of the table with all three points at The Hawthorns.

West Brom head into this important clash on the back of two wins on the trot as The Baggies have picked up maximum points by way of victories over Ipswich Town and Cardiff City while results overall have seen Carlos Corberan's side produce a fairly consistent string of results in the Championship over a few months now which has helped the west midlands club into the play-off pack.

Having suffered just two defeats out of their last 13 matches overall, both of which were dealt out to The Baggies on their travels, along with collecting seven wins in the process, West Brom look in decent shape to add to their points tally even with the visit of the league leaders in this lunchtime tussle.

Leicester City were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw away from home at bottom of the table outfit, Sheffield Wednesday, during the week which means The Foxes have now managed to capture just one win from their last four matches overall which came in the form of 2-0 home win against Watford but the east midlands club had been handed back-to-back defeats beforehand.

Losses to Leeds United and Middlesbrough had threatened to undo Leicester's solid start in the Championship campaign and proves that The Foxes are human after all and although Enzo Maresca's side had previously strung together an excellent nine-match winning streak, the midweek draw at Sheffield Wednesday will likely give West Brom a timely boost ahead of this lunchtime date.

Leicester City do possess a good record on the road so far this season though, one which includes collecting no fewer than seven wins out of their nine outings on their travels to date this term while goals for both sides could also feature here as six of Leicester City's nine away games have also seen both teams hit the back of the net as well.

West Brom v Leicester City Verdict

Both West Brom and Leicester City will make their way into this important fixture believing they can grab all three points from the other as both sides have been in reasonable nick and having both produced impressive results lately in the English second tier, this clash promises to be an entertaining spectacle for both sets of fans and the neutrals as well.

In addition, three of the last five meetings have also resulted in both teams scoring.
