Third-place Leicester has lost two-straight and is now just a point ahead of Chelsea and West Ham, who meet this weekend. Liverpool is three points behind the Foxes.

Prediction
A mostly healthy Leicester City should mark the end of West Brom’s hot streak, though the Foxes did play a cup game at the weekend. It might be uncomfortable for Brendan Rodgers’ men at times, but they’ll pull through to all three points. Leicester City 2-1 West Brom.
