Leicester City will be hoping to carry on their FA Cup success into the Premier League when they host West Bromwich Albion on Thursday.

The Foxes may have lost their last two league matches, but currently sit third in the table, while West Brom’s back-to-back wins give them marginal hope of avoiding relegation.

Leicester will also be heading into their first FA Cup final in over 50 years after beating Southampton 1-0 in Sunday’s semi-final, thanks to Kelechi Iheanacho’s strike.

However, Brendan Rodgers’ side have faced setbacks with losses against Manchester City and West Ham in their bid to seal a top-four berth. Rodgers will be hoping to avoid a repeat of last year, which saw Leicester collapse towards the end of the season and miss out on a Champions League spot.

The Baggies beat Southampton 3-0 in Monday’s league game and have a memorable 5-2 victory over Chelsea under their belt from earlier this month, but they remain six points from safety and so further victories are a must.

One positive omen is that Sam Allardyce’s side are unbeaten against Leicester in their last eight league away games.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match.

The game kicks off at 8pm on Thursday 22 April.

The match will be televised live on BT Sport. BT Sport subscribers will be able to watch the match online via the website or BT app.

Confirmed line ups

Leicester City: Schmeichel, Fofana, Evans, Soyuncu, Castagne, Ndidi, Tielemans, Thomas, Maddison, Vardy, Iheanacho.

West Bromwich Albion: Johnstone, Furlong, O’Shea, Bartley, Townsend, Phillips, Yokuslu, Maitland-Niles, Pereira, Diagne, Robinson.

Prediction

Leicester will be under pressure to break their losing streak, while West Brom will need to continue their winning ways if they are to move out of the relegation zone. Albion also have an advantage, having not lost to Leicester at the King Power in nine Premier League matches, which could see them pick up a point this time around. Leicester 2-2 West Brom
