West Brom vs Leicester predictions: Midlands rivals to share the spoils
West Brom have not won at home since the opening day win over Blackburn
Leicester have drawn their last two games but have not lost in four matches
Recommended bet: Draw
West Brom and Leicester City meet in the Championship at The Hawthorns on Friday evening and the Midlands rivals each have the opportunity to move into the top two, for a day at least, with a victory.
The Baggies have lost their last two matches and will be determined to bounce back with a win to ensure they are in the play-off places at least during these early stages of the season.
Leicester, meanwhile, were held to a goalless draw against Coventry in the M69 derby last Saturday and are yet to win a game in September.

Team news
Baggies forward Josh Maja came on at Middlesbrough as he made his comeback from a long-term calf injury and will be available for selection.
Krystian Bielik has also returned to training, while Daryl Dike and Tammer Bany are also getting closer to full fitness.
However, Karlan Grant is still being assessed, having not played this month, while young right-back Alex Williams is out with an ankle injury.
Foxes midfielder Aaron Ramsey is serving a three-match ban following his straight red card at Oxford United, while defenders Victor Kristiansen and Harry Souttar remain sidelined due to injury.
The stats
Albion have earned more points on the road (6) than they have managed at home (4) so far this season.
Leicester have won each of their last six visits to The Hawthorns dating back to 2015.
The last Friday night fixture between the two sides saw West Brom run out 3-0 winners in April 2010 on the way to finishing second and earning promotion to the Premier League.
Leicester have kept three clean sheets in their last four Championship fixtures.

Prediction
West Brom enjoyed an unbeaten start to the season in August, but have lost both games in September since the international break.
Manager Ryan Mason will be eager for his team to get back to winning ways to keep in touch with league leaders Middlesbrough, who beat Albion last Friday and moved six points clear of the Baggies.
Leicester, meanwhile, have improved defensively and kept another clean sheet against the Championship's top scorers Coventry last time out.
The Foxes have lost only once this season, but have not won since the 2-0 victory over Birmingham at the end of August.
With West Brom struggling to get a run going at The Hawthorns and Leicester boasting one of the best defences in the league, expect this to be a low-scoring stalemate.
