Leicester City v West Brom: Projected lineups as hosts look for three points
Leicester City are desperate for more points at home this season as they continue to have a tough run of form in the Premier League.
With a solid home record to put their faith in, Leicester will be looking to take the match to the visitors, but Tony Pulis is never one to let anything get his side out of the match.
The hosts enter the match with a 20 plus game home unbeaten run and they will be hoping that that goes a long towards earning them three much needed points.
Leicester will be without Kasper Schmeichel as the Dane suffered a broken hand during the club’s midweek match in Denmark against FC Copenhagen in the UEFA Champions League and Ron-Robert Zieler will for certain be in goal.
Islam Slimani should be back to feature for Leicester despite missing the midweek match due to a slight groin injury.

Tony Pulis will be welcoming back Claudio Yacob to the Baggies first team but James McClean will miss the match due to suspension while Nacer Chadli will be out injured.
Missing their record signing in Chadli will be a certain blow for the Baggies and could force Saido Berahino into the first team for his first appearance in quite sometime despite his lack of match fitness.
It is certain to be a tough game but the Foxes should be able to find a way to keep things in their favor and come out on top, keeping their streak alive at the King Power.
Projected Lineups
Leicester City (4-4-2): Zieler; Simpson, Morgan, Huth, Fuchs; Mahrez, Amartey, Drinkwater, Albrighton; Slimani, Vardy.
West Brom (4-1-4-1): Foster; Dawson, McAuley, Evans, Hyom; Yacob; Leko, Fletcher, Morrison, Brunt; Rondon.
