West Bromwich Albion and Leicester City meet on Friday night in a Midlands matchup between two Championship promotion hopefuls.
Both sides have made solid starts to the Championship campaign. West Brom are just outside the play-off places on goal difference, but have wobbled of late after consecutive defeats.
Leicester sit fourth, a point ahead of tonight’s opponents. The Foxes are bidding for an instant return to the Premier League after last season’s relegation.
Ryan Mason could make changes to his team after the setback of successive league losses. After opening the season with a four-match unbeaten run, the Baggies have lost to Derby County and Middlesbrough in their last two.
Mikey Johnston and Josh Maja are pushing for recalls to the starting side, with the latter restricted to four substitute appearances so far this season. Maja was West Brom’s leading scorer last season with 12 Championship goals but has struggled for minutes since the arrival of Aune Heggebø.
Toby Collyer and Alfir Gilchrist are also hopeful of starting tonight’s clash.
West Brom predicted XI: Griffiths; Gilchrist, Phillips, Mepham, Styles; Collyer, Molumby; Wallace, Price, Johnston; Heggebo.
West Bromwich Albion host Leicester City in the Championship on Friday 26th September 2025. Kick-off at The Hawthorns is 8pm BST.
The West Brom v Leicester City game will be shown live on Sky Sports Football and Sky Sports Ultra HDR.
