📈 Leicester v West Brom Form & Stats
There is no real sign of a Leicester resurgence. It always seems to be a case of one step forward and two steps back for Marti Cifuentes. A big win against Ipswich recently looked set to be a catalyst of coming back to the top of the table, but three defeats in four to QPR, Watford, and last time out to Sheffield United as well.
What could, and possibly should, be more concerning is that Leicester are actually overperforming their expected goals, having created 27.9 xG they have scored 35 goals, which speaks to their individual quality, but is potentially unsustainable even despite the fact they are in the bottom half. They are also ranked 20th for xG against, so they have been performing substandard at both ends of the pitch.
West Brom are in a very similar position results-wise. They have also lost three of their last four and five of their last seven. Concerningly, for this particular match, they have managed to lose nine consecutive Championship away games. This is despite winning the xG battle in three of their last four on the road.
In many ways, despite apparent similarities, West Brom's issues are the exact opposite of Leicester's. West Brom actually have a +0.25 xG differential, so their overall performances haven't been terrible; they are underperforming their xG for by three goals, and they are ranked in the top six for their xG against. In many ways, it is match play that they are lacking at the moment.
📔 Leicester v West Brom Formation & Team News
Silko Thomas may be entrusted to continue as the #9, but Patson Daka is now out of the AFCON, with Zambia finishing bottom of their group. Victor Kristiansen, Aaron Ramsey, and Boubakary Soumare should be back this month, but none are likely to be ready for this match, whilst Harry Souttar remains a long-term absentee.
Cifuentes’ 4-2-3-1 is likely to remain in place. Jordan James, in the #10 role, is one of the few Leicester players who can hold their head up high with his performances. Leicester could do with a return to league-best form from Abdul Fatwu as well.
West Brom are also highly likely to use a 4-2-3-1 system that has been consistent for most of the season. Ryan Mason may be well advised to make changes, but, as discussed above, their performances haven't been too bad.
Tammer Bany and Jed Wallace are forward options that they could do with the option of, but, in reality, Mason needs more from his first-choice forwards.
