Leicester have won three of their last five matches at the King Power
West Brom have lost nine away league games on the spin
Recommended bet: Leicester to win
Leicester and West Brom have both flattered to deceive in the Championship this season, but victory in Monday evening's meeting in the East Midlands could signal the turning point.
Both managers, Leicester head coach Marti Cifuentes and Baggies boss Ryan Mason, know that they are under significant pressure and can ill-afford another setback.
The Foxes were relegated from the Premier League last season and have struggled to get going in the Championship, with a 3-1 defeat at Sheffield United on New Year's Day leaving them in the bottom half of the table.
Albion, who are three points worse off, were beaten 1-0 at Swansea in their opening game of 2026 and that was their ninth straight defeat on the road.

Team news
Victor Kristiansen, Harry Souttar and Boubakary Soumare remain on the treatment table for the Foxes, while Aaron Ramsey is also set for a spell on the sidelines with a hamstring issue.
Julian Carranza has returned to parent club Feyenoord, but Hamza Choudhury and forward Jordan Ayew should be pushing for starts.
West Brom have confirmed that Tammer Bany is out for up to four months and he joins Jed Wallace on the sidelines.
Alfie Gilchrist is available again after suspension and Chris Mepham, Jayson Molumby and Isaac Price will be hoping to be involved if Mason chooses to tinker his starting line-up.

West Brom have lost ten of their 13 away league games this season, suffering nine straight defeats on the road.

Prediction
Leicester have won three of their last five Championship clashes at the King Power Stadium, which includes accounting for title hopefuls Ipswich and top-half Stoke, so they should be confident of heaping more misery on West Brom.
Pressure has significantly grown on Baggies boss Mason and, having suffered nine straight defeats on the road, the backing may not last much longer.
Albion have endured five losses in their last seven league matches and 1-0 defeats in their last two road trips, to Swansea and Hull, show that the goals are proving hard to come by.
