Confirmed West Brom starting XI v Leicester City
West Brom have named an unchanged starting XI for their Premier League clash against Leicester City on Thursday evening.
Sam Allardyce has decided to stick with the side that destroyed Southampton last time out, despite numerous injury concerns.
Confirmed on their official Twitter account prior to kick-off, Kyle Bartley survived his injury scare after being replaced in the final moments of that last win.
There were doubts over the likes of Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Bartley in the build-up to yet another big Premier League clash this evening.
The Arsenal loanee had a heavy landing against Southampton and appeared to damage his ankle in the 3-0 win where he shined.
It appeared to have healed quickly though, as the midfielder was pictured back in training through the week in the build-up.
Our loanees have been the turning point this season, with Okay Yokuslu certainly making the biggest difference at The Hawthorns so far.
Every game is a must-win for the Albion and Big Sam.
The Baggies are now chasing Burnley, and this evening is the game-in-hand that could take us six points behind the Clarets with six games to play.
Newcastle and Brighton have started picking up points, and the fact we are chasing Sean Dyche’s men could make that point at Turf Moor a few weeks back a huge mistake.
We can only attack what is in front of us, and three points at the King Power this evening would put us two games behind; something that is certainly possible.
