Leicester City will aim to maintain their impressive record against West Bromwich Albion as they prepare to visit The Hawthorns in the Championship. Remarkably, the Foxes have not suffered a defeat at the Midlands stadium since 2010—a streak spanning 15 glorious years that manager Marti Cifuentes will certainly hope to extend. However, Cifuentes does have a less favorable personal record against West Brom, having failed to secure a win in his previous encounters with them while managing Queens Park Rangers, drawing one match and losing two.
On the player front, Leicester City captain and defender Ricardo Pereira has been making waves. His performance in the current campaign has drawn attention as he stands second only to Wrexham’s Josh Windass in terms of goals-per-game. Windass leads the division with an average of 1.53 goals per 90 minutes, while Pereira follows closely with two goals in just 139 minutes of play.
Meanwhile, young Leicester midfielder Louis Page appears to have lost his place in the starting XI following an injury and subsequent team signings. The 17-year-old has not made it to the bench in Leicester’s recent matches against Oxford and Coventry after starting the two prior games. His reappearance with the Under-21s in their match against Valencia suggests a step back in his progression with the senior squad.
As for the upcoming match, West Brom will need to stay vigilant throughout if they hope to overcome the Foxes. Leicester City, known for their resilience and ability to score late in games, embody the spirit of their motto, “Foxes Never Quit.” This characteristic could prove pivotal in their pursuit of another victory at The Hawthorns.
