Leicester City will quickly shift their attention to business in the Premier League after booking a spot in the FA Cup final on Sunday. Following a recent dip in form and performance, they will be expected to build on this latest morale-boosting result, as they continue their domestic league campaign.

However, it's a different story for West Brom who are beginning to pick up pace in the final stages of this Premier League season. While they have had a largely underwhelming campaign, sustaining their run of good results might be exactly what they need for survival this term.

Leicester City vs West Brom Team News

As earlier mentioned, Leicester City have made it to the FA Cup final for the first time in 52 years, a feat that would have them licking their lips at the prospect of lifting silverware for the first time since their unprecedented 2016 PL title win.

Kelechi Iheanacho continued his fine goalscoring form, scoring the only goal in their 1-0 semi-final victory over Southampton in front of 4,000 fans at Wembley Stadium. With the final showdown not until May 15, Leicester will be afforded enough time to focus on their season ambitions in the English top flight.

Moreover, the Foxes have been wobbling for the past few games in the league, and they will be aware of the need to step things up as the curtain falls on their campaign, especially as rivals are presently breathing down their necks - merely a point above Chelsea and West Ham United.

And this pressure would come as a result of their slump in their last two league fixtures - consecutive defeats to West Ham United and champions-elect Manchester City. Nevertheless, Brendan Rodgers will be charging his men to stay grounded, especially as their place in the top four is all but assured.

Almost the same can be said for his counterpart whose side are in a battle for survival. Famed for his exploits with relegation-threatened sides, the experienced manager can be said to have impressed since he took over at West Brom, keeping their hopes for survival alive, at least.

Currently languishing in 19th-place on the league table, West Brom will be pulling all their resources to mount a late challenge to play in the Premier League next season. They are nine points away from safety, albeit they still hold a game advantage over 17th-placed Burnley.

West Brom are in a great run of form at the moment, having emphatically won each of their last two games in the league - including a 5-2 victory over Chelsea. Furthermore, their last match ended in a 3-0 triumph over Southampton, featuring three different goalscorers from the Baggies. However, except they keep up this level of performance, they won't have it easy when they travel to King Power Stadium on Thursday.

Injured or Suspended Players

Leicester vs West Brom Predictions

Even in their 1-0 win over Southampton on Sunday, Leicester City's showing was less than convincing. However, Rodgers shouldn’t be alarmed, given the superior quality in his squad, as compared to that of the Baggies.

Though a spirited performance is expected from West Brom, we anticipate an equal response from the Foxes in what should be a fiercely-contested battle. We have our wager on no more than two goals come fulltime.
