The Dugout Discussion – Leicester City vs West Bromwich Albion

A busy Sunday comes to its conclusion as Leicester City host West Bromwich Albion at the King Power.

The Foxes are seeking a fourth clean sheet in six at the King Power this time around but will need to do so without the services of Kasper Schmeichel, who is ruled out with a fractured hand.

Both Robert Huth and Danny Simpson walk the Suspension Tightrope for this one, though many will be taking the chance to scout Christian Fuchs as the schedules smiles kindly on the Foxes.

With Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy devoid of form, Islam Slimani – with 20 points in three home fixtures – and Ahmed Musa, who has scored in each of the last two, have the chance to stake a claim as differentials to consider up top. Vardy’s 9% owners are left further frustrated by Claudio Ranieri’s decison to drop him to the bench today.

West Brom, meanwhile, are devoid of talisman Nacer Chadli, who underwent minor knee surgery last week. Given that the Belgian has played a part in 75% of his side’s goals since arriving from Spurs, another shut-out could be on the cards for the champions.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    My defense is
    Kos Walker* Lovren* Amat* Smith*
    I just have Diomande so AOA not an option.
    First thinking was getting Hazard for Sterling and downgrade other. What would you do?
    A) Sterling+Walker to Hazard and Kingsley(max 4.2 this way)
    B) Forget Hazard for now but sort out defsense, Walker to Alonso to start with.
    C) Wait few days at least even though price rises
