West Bromwich Albion will host Leicester City at the Hawthorns on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 Championship campaign.
The home side are enjoying a good run of form at the moment and are now intensifying their efforts for playoff football. They beat Cardiff City 1-0 in their last match with Brighton & Hove Albion loanee Jeremy Sarmiento scoring the sole goal of the game to record his first away goal for the Baggies.
West Bromwich Albion sit fifth in the league table with 32 points from 18 games. They will now be looking to continue their good run of form when they play on Saturday.
Leicester City have enjoyed a strong campaign and remain front-runners in the race for automatic promotion despite recent struggles. They were held to a 1-1 draw by last-placed Sheffield Wednesday last time out. They took the lead midway through the first half via an Abdul Fatawu Issahaku strike before their opponents leveled the scores deep into additional time.
