West Bromwich Albion boss Carlos Corberán has a number of players out of action. Jayson Molumby (unknown injury) and Daryl Dike (Achilles tendon surgery) will not be playing here.

We are inclined to think that The Baggies seem most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 system, starting Alex Palmer, Darnell Furlong, Cédric Kipré, Kyle Bartley, Conor Townsend, Okay Yokuslu, Alex Mowatt, Tom Fellows, Grady Diangana, Michael Johnston and Jed Wallace.

We’re of the opinion that Leicester City have it within them to score a couple of goals when they come up against West Bromwich Albion, who might well find it a difficult task to get a goal of their own.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a decent 2-0 winning margin for Leicester City at the end of the 90 minutes.
