RADIO 5 LIVE COMMENTATOR'S NOTES
Conor McNamara: "Since August, no Premier League team has earned fewer points than Leicester.
"Undoubtedly Craig Shakespeare has had a tough run of opponents - his defeats have all been to teams that finished in the top five last season. But it's now five league games without a victory and Shakespeare knows that the last time the club went six without a win in the top flight they ended up sacking title winner Claudio Ranieri.
"West Brom have also not won in their last five league games, but somehow Tony Pulis is working his magic to keep them mid-table, and the Baggies have never lost at The King Power Stadium."

WHAT THE MANAGERS SAY
Leicester City manager Craig Shakespeare on facing his former club: "I had a great time at West Brom, met some really nice people, kept in contact with them as well.
"(West Brom assistant head coach) Gary Megson was manager here for a time and gave me my opportunity in coaching and I was always grateful to him for doing that. And of course I know Tony (Pulis).
"It's a club I grew up near so I watched the Jeff Astle days, the Bobby Hope days. There's some great heritage there."
West Brom head coach Tony Pulis on Leicester: "From the times we've played them we know they've got some top players.
"On their day they've proven they can beat anybody, so we need to make sure we're prepared properly and that we concentrate on what we can do.
"I have something in my mind that I think will suit everybody with five at the back or with four at the back. We can, with the squad we've got now, be that flexible."
LAWRO'S PREDICTION
