Carlos Corberan drops ‘uninspiring’ forward as ‘midfield battler’ starts - West Brom predicted XI v Leicester City

Here’s how we predict West Bromwich Albion to line up against Leicester City in the Championship.

West Bromwich Albion return to The Hawthorns at midday on Saturday as they play host to Championship leaders Leicester City. The Baggies are the most in-form team in the entirety of the English second flight but might meet their match this weekend as the Foxes have been outstanding this season.

Enzo Maresca's side have only failed to win three of their 17 fixtures so far this term and, even more impressively, have conceded a league-low of 10 goals. Going forward Leicester have been superb, too, with 31 netted – the third-best in the division.

Albion will have to be at their absolute best if they are to get anything from this fixture, let alone a win. As a result, we're expecting Carlos Corberan to go all out with his starting XI while erring on the side of caution somewhat.
