Premier League
The two sides have faced each other ten times since 2021, with only two of those meetings taking place in the Championship. Leicester have the upper hand in this run of fixtures, boasting seven wins and two clean sheets. West Bromwich only managed one win, way back in 2016 in the Premier League. The average number of goals per game during that period was three.
West Bromwich Albion team overview
West Bromwich made a positive start to their 2025–26 Championship campaign, going through the first three games without defeat.
The Baggies won both of their away games in that spell, but they have not won a game since, either home or away.
Ryan Mason’s side are preparing for Friday’s game after successive defeats, during which they conceded three goals while scoring just one.
West Bromwich did not suffer any new injuries in their defeat to Middlesbrough last time out, but Josh Maja remains sidelined with a calf problem.

Leicester City team overview
Leicester City entered the season hoping to secure immediate promotion after being relegated from the Premier League last season.
This was always going to be difficult without their all-time top scorer, Jamie Vardy, who has moved on to the Italian side Como, and the Foxes have issues in the final third.
They have scored fewer than 1.5 goals in all but one of their five Championship games so far, and failed to score against Coventry last weekend. However, with only five points separating them from the top of the standings and many games still to play, promotion is still a possibility for Martí Cifuentes’ side.
Aaron Ramsey is still suspended following his red card against Oxford United over two weeks ago, while Harry Souttar and Ben Nelson are dealing with injuries.

Prediction
Although the bookies have given West Bromwich a slight advantage ahead of this clash, I believe the visitors have what it takes to leave the game with at least a draw. Leicester City are unbeaten in their last four league games, having won two, and they have won all of their last five meetings with West Bromwich.
Three reasons we expect Leicester to secure at least one point from this game
- West Brom have won just one of their last five competitive home matches.
- Leceister City kept a clean sheet in three of their last four matches.
- West Brom are winless in their last eight meetings with Leicester City.
