by Steve Ashfield in Championship Predictions
West Bromwich Albion bid to avoid a third successive defeat in the Championship. The Baggies are seventh in the table and on Friday night welcome fourth-placed Leicester City to the Hawthorns. Read our match prediction below.
Albion will go ahead of their opponents and into the promotion play-off positions if they win this match. They are currently only outside the play-offs on goal difference and are a point behind Leicester City. The last couple of league games have been disappointing for them with a couple of defeats. More about those games in the form guide of this preview. They'll be desperate to avoid another defeat.
Leicester City are back in the Championship after being relegated from the Premier League last season. The Foxes are a point behind the automatic promotion places and five adrift of leaders Middlesbrough. Like their opponents, City have failed to win either of their last two league fixtures. Both games ended in a draw though and now they face this tough away game against the Throstles.

West Brom - Leicester: Form Analysis
West Bromwich Albion will be attempting to get their season back on track. They earned ten points from their first three league games but since then have lost at home to Derby and away at top-of-the-table Middlesbrough.
Just one of their last four Championship matches has been won, though that was an away victory at second-placed Stoke City. Albion have only won one of their three home league fixtures this season and only four goals have been scored in that trio of matches.
Leicester have drawn their last two league games.
Leicester City drew 0-0 at home with Coventry City in their most recent league game. Like Albion, they have won three of their six league games but have only been beaten once this season, a 2-1 away loss at Preston North End.
Aside from that defeat, City have had one away win at Charlton and a draw at Oxford after twice trailing in that game.

West Brom & Leicester Squad Analysis
After a couple of league defeats, West Brom will be making some changes for this home game against Leicester. Alfie Gilchrist is a possible starter at left-back with Mikey Johnston and Toby Collyer likely to replace Ousmane Diakite and Alex Mowatt.
A big problem for the Baggies is scoring with just a couple in their three home league games this season. To try and be a bit more threatening, Albion may play Isaac Price in the number 10 position that he's previously enjoyed success in.
Ramsey is still suspended for City.
Aaron Ramsey recently joined Leicester but has had little chance to make an impact so far. He was sent off when making his debut in the 2-2 draw at Oxford United. City may announce an unchanged starting line-up for this trip to the Hawthorns.
Their last two games have both ended level and they're already five points behind the league leaders. That's a gap they won't want to see widen too much further even though it still is only September.
