The improving champions face a Baggies side looking to reverse their recent slide.
Leicester’s title defence may have started slowly, but there are gradual signs that the Foxes are getting going.
A comfortable 3-1 win against Crystal Palace in their last home match was followed up by an impressive point at Tottenham last weekend; Claudio Ranieri’s side may still be in the bottom half, but their fans can breathe a bit more easily.

West Brom, on the other hand, have dropped to 16th after a run of five league matches without a win. A positive performance at the home of the champions is required after last weekend’s abject 4-0 defeat at home to Manchester City.
The Key Battle – Jamie Vardy vs Jonny Evans
Vardy has been in and out of the Foxes starting XI in recent weeks as he searches to rediscover last season’s form, and could do with a goal to boost his confidence ahead of the international break.
On form, Evans is Albion’s best defender and the Northern Ireland international will need to use all his experience to keep Vardy quiet.
