The Leicester team looks like 4-3-3/4-5-1 with widemen Marshall and Schlupp both starting. There is some danger on their bench in Wood and Knockaert - but worth reflecting, as they trot out for thei wam-up right now, that Albion have potential game-changing options in support of what looks a more solid or conservative XI than on Tuesday.

I know it’s not as simple as Leicester being due a result because they haven’t won many lately. The other reasons why they remain dangerous are, of course, the strength of their squad, their potential goalpower up front and the meanest defence in the Championship.
This, remember, is the team who were second at the end of January so there is reason for Albion to be wary. They were possibly given a morale boost too when Albion failed to take the chance to move four points clear on Tuesday. But what an intriguing game it promises to be.

Funny what tricks the mind can play. Seven days ago Albion were about to play Nottingham Forest and it looked like being a tough game. Why? Because Forest had won six in a row and were in great form.
Today they play Leicester City and it looks a tough game. Why? Because Leicester haven’t won in seven and are due a result.
Welcome back to the crazy mixed up world of the Championship and sixth versus seventh at The Amex.
