West Brom and Leicester meet at the Hawthorns on Friday night in clash between two Championship promotion hopefuls.
Both sides have started the new football season well, with the Foxes sitting in fourth, one point clear of the seventh-placed Baggies. New Leicester manager Marti Cifuentes has lost just one of his six league games in charge with his side proving a tough nut to crack, conceding just five goals in that period.
West Brom lost last time out at leaders Middlesbrough but rookie boss Ryan Mason will be pleased with how his side competed as he looks to guide them back to the Premier League for the first time since 2021. A win against recently relegated Leicester would be his biggest result yet.
The Sporting News has all the latest ahead of this one.
West Brom vs. Leicester: Who will win?
Both sides have been competitive in every league game so far this season but Leicester might just have a little bit too much quality and experience for the Baggies. Expect it to be a fiercely fought contest but for the Foxes to just sneak the win on Friday night.
