Every day is a big day at the top of the Championship, and this Saturday is no exception. Leicester the only one of the three automatic contenders to be playing, a chance to go back to the top of the table and they welcome 5th placed West Brom to the King Power Stadium for the early kick off.
Leicester Form GuideI don't think Leicester are playing badly right now, and would say the same for the other two contenders, but all three are definitely letting the pressure get to them way too much. Leicester are in 2nd, one point off Ipswich at the top and one point ahead of Leeds below. But they do have a game in hand, and are the only one playing on Saturday.
But they come here on the back of two defeats. When you look at the bigger picture, it's worse, just three wins from their last 10 league games. Leicester were beaten but Plymouth 1-0 last weekend, and before that, they lost to Millwall by the same score line. Both of those sides are down in the relegation battle right now.
West Brom Form GuideFor a side who are currently 5th in the league, there's been no drama all season for West Brom. They've got themselves into the playoffs nice and early, stayed there, never looked in doubt of dropping out and never got anywhere near the automatic promotion battle.
They come here on the back of a defeat last weekend, surprisingly losing 1-0 at home to Sunderland. Before that, it as much better, 10 games unbeaten with five wins and five draws in that period. They won 2-0 at home to Rotherham before the Sunderland defeat.
Match PredictionA huge game for Leicester, but looking at the betting odds, value here lies with backing the away side. I will take West Brom on the double chance market in this game, covering them to win or the game to end in a draw, giving more for Leicester to worry about with their automatic promotion bid.
