It's a clash at the top of the table to kick off the seventh day of the Championship! Currently in the top six, five points behind the league leaders, Leicester City cannot afford any mistakes when they travel to West Bromwich, a team knocking on the door of the playoffs. To avoid a long season in the second half of the table, the Foxes cannot afford to slip up away from home. After two consecutive wins on English soil, Marti Cifuentes and his men took only two points from Oxford United and Coventry City. Last weekend was disappointing, with no goals scored at King Power Stadium (0-0). Unbeaten away from home in the league, the blue and whites know what they need to do to avoid dropping more points on English soil.

The Baggies have a real headache! WBA have only won one of their last four games and suffered two consecutive defeats in the space of six days. The defeat against Middlesbrough was not surprising, but the loss to the Rams angered the navy blue faithful: 1-0 at home against one of the teams in the relegation zone. Ryan Mason's men will have to rediscover the form they showed in the early weeks of the season, otherwise their playoff hopes from the start of the season could quickly evaporate. A good result against Leicester City could put an end to the crisis.
