How West Bromwich Albion could line up against Leicester City

Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how West Bromwich Albion could line up for Thursday's Premier League clash with Leicester City.

Sam Allardyce may be tempted to stick with a winning formula when West Bromwich Albion make the short trip to Leicester City on Thursday evening.

The Baggies followed up a stunning 5-2 win at Chelsea with a 3-0 victory against Southampton last time out to make it back-to-back Premier League victories.

Given the manner of the performance against the Saints, and the fact that his side have had a 10-day rest between games, it could be a case of Allardyce going with the same XI here.

That would mean Callum Robinson and Matt Phillips continuing out wide, with Matheus Pereira and Mbaye Diagne playing through the middle.

Pereira has been directly involved in 13 top-flight goals for the Baggies this term - only Peter Odemwingie (22 in 2010-11), Romelu Lukaku (21 in 2012-13) and Saido Berahino (15 in 2014-15) have had a hand in more goals in a single Premier League campaign for the club.

West Brom only have one confirmed injury absence for Thursday's clash - veteran defender Branislav Ivanovic - so Allardyce is certainly not lacking in terms of other options.

Hal Robson-Kanu and Conor Gallagher were brought on against Southampton and are pushing for inclusion in attack, while Semi Ajayi will also be eager to earn a recall to the side.

West Brom possible starting lineup: Johnstone; Furlong, O'Shea, Bartley, Townsend; Phillips, Yokuslu, Maitland-Niles, Robinson; Pereira; Diagne
