Leicester v West Brom: Foxes look to keep home form alive

Leicester City continued their undefeated run in Europe in midweek and they return to the King Power hoping to keep their strong home form going.

In their last 20 Premier League matches at the King Power, Leicester have been undefeated and kept 12 clean sheets and they will be looking to keep that strong form alive when West Brom come to town Sunday evening.

Leicester will be without star goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel as he has undergone surgery to fix a broken hand that he suffered against FC Copenhagen in Europe during the week.

Ron-Robert Zieler will return to goal for the Foxes for at least their next month of games and victory here will be a welcomed result ahead of a two-week international break.

While many clubs on form will be worried that the coming international break would see their form suffer, manager Claudio Ranieri will be keen to have some more time for his players to heal and new signings to continue to gel.

Another star likely to miss out for the home side is Islam Slimani as the Algerian continues to recover from an injury suffered just over a week ago, but he could still be a game time decision.

West Brom will be without midfielder James McClean after he picked up his fifth booking of the season last week against Manchester City and both Nacer Chadli and Jonas Olsson are also likely to not feature.

The Baggies have not won in their last five games with only three points from three draws and the injuries and missing players for Tony Pulis could prove to be just enough to be their undoing against their hosts.
