West Brom vs Leicester
Leicester’s 2020/21 campaign gets underway in less than 24 hours time.
The Foxes would have a solid 2019/20, but after something of a collapse at the back end of the campaign, Leicester slipped out of the top-four and down to 5th.
Leicester probably would have taken that finish at the start of the campaign, though they will have no doubt been disappointed at their failure to secure a Champions League berth.
As a result, they will no doubt be eager to start the current season with a bang.
Leicester’s first clash of 2020/21 is away to newly-promoted outfit West Brom on Sunday.

Leicester squad update
Brendan Rodgers would hold his pre-West Brom press conference on Friday.
During the presser, Rodgers provided updates on a number of his players.
First up, the Leicester boss stated that new signing Timothy Castagne has fit in very well and he has not hesitations about playing him:
“In the last few days since he joined, he’s fit in very well and I don’t have any hesitation to play him.”
Rodgers went on to provided updates an all of James Maddison, Chrisitan Fuchs, Daniel Amartey, Wes Morgan, Ricardo Pereira and Filip Benkovic, with the latter two of those names definitely set to miss Sunday’s game:
“James and Fuchsy have been training this week, so that’s good news. It’ll been brilliant to see them back on the pitch. Dan Amartey has just come back in.
“He played 45 minutes of the friendly game last weekend. It’s been nearly two years since his last game, so you always have to be careful when a player’s been out for such a long time, but he’s progressing well.
“Wes has rejoined the training group today. We have another 24 hours to asses them all. Ricardo is still a number of weeks away but he’s making good progress.
“On Filip, it shouldn’t keep him out for too long, but he certainly won’t be available for this weekend.”
