Leicester City vs West Brom: The Battle of the Baggies
The Foxes welcome the Baggies to the King Power Stadium on Friday night in a clash of contrasting fortunes.
Leicester City are enjoying a resurgence under Brendan Rodgers, having won their last three Premier League games and climbing to within touching distance of the top four. West Brom, on the other hand, are struggling at the bottom of the table and are winless in their last four matches.
The Foxes will be looking to capitalize on West Brom's poor form and extend their winning run. They will be confident of victory, especially at home, where they have won their last three matches.
West Brom, however, will be determined to cause an upset and end their winless streak. They will be boosted by the return of captain Jake Livermore, who has been out injured for the last few weeks.
Key players to watch
Jamie Vardy has been in sensational form for Leicester City this season, scoring 15 goals in 20 appearances. He will be looking to add to his tally against a West Brom defense that has been shaky at best.
Matheus Pereira has been West Brom's most dangerous player this season, scoring five goals in 20 appearances. He will be looking to provide the spark that his team needs to get back to winning ways.
Prediction
Leicester City are the clear favorites to win this match, but West Brom have shown in the past that they can cause problems for even the best teams. I expect the Foxes to win, but it could be a close-fought contest.
