Domestically, it has been a fine season for Leicester City so far and after booking their place in the FA Cup final, it is time to strengthen their quest for a top four place. They will be hosting relegation threatened West Bromwich Albion on Match Day 32. Third placed Leicester have so far garnered 56 points while West Brom are 19th with 24 points. Nigerian international Kelechi Iheanacho was on target yet again with his 10th goal in seven matches as Leicester beat Southampton 1-0 to advance to the FA Cup final. He will be on show again on Thursday as the team seeks to consolidate their chase for a Champions League spot. With Jamie Vardy on an 11-match goalless run, Iheanacho is proving very key for the Foxes, whose scoring run is impressive. The team has failed to score in just one of the last eight league matches. The biggest improvement the team should be eying is in their home matches; they have three losses and just one clean sheet in the last five league games at home. In the 15 played at home this season, they have managed seven wins. Of the 56 points collected so far, 34 have come from away matches.

West Brom have been on the rise lately, and head here with two straight wins, both big ones, against Chelsea then Southampton most recently. They scored eight goals in the two games and conceded two, but despite that, they are still nine points below safety and a very poor goal difference is also working against their prospects. No team has a more porous defence line than West Brom. They’ve conceded 59 goals so far, and getting to face the in-form Iheanacho means they have to be at their best. The 0-0 draw with Burnley back in February remains the only clean sheet in West Brom’s 15 away league matches so far and in the last six away league games, they have one win and four losses. Matheus Perreira and Callum Robinson have been the stars for West Brom in the last two matches, scoring six of the eight goals.
