West Brom vs Leicester Preview – Match Preview
West Brom host Leicester in a Championship clash on Saturday, 27 September 2025, at 00:30 IST. The Baggies have been patchy at home, while Leicester have looked organized and hard to break down. On current form, the Foxes look well placed to avoid defeat here.
Leicester have only outscored West Brom by a single goal (eight vs seven), but Marti Martí Cifuentes’ side have shown sharper patterns of play that should encourage their supporters.
The Foxes are unbeaten in four, most recently taking a point in a 0-0 against Coventry City-one of the league’s most potent attacks.
Even the 2-2 at Oxford underlined their resilience: they were reduced to ten players as early as the 24th minute and still found a way to take something from the game.
Performances like that should build belief, especially in a start to the season where only two teams have scored fewer than Leicester across the first six matches.
Cifuentes’ next step is turning territory into goals. Patson Daka is yet to score in the Championship; Jordan Ayew has one in six. Leicester need more end-product from the No.9 and supporting cast.
