Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of West Brom and Leicester. The Baggies may not have an awful lot to play for, but last season's champions certainly do. The Foxes are currently six points above the drop zone, having only picked up a single point from their last three games, and another defeat this afternoon could drag them right into the middle of a dog fight at the bottom of the table with only a handful of games to play.

Bandaged up, McAuley returns to the field. A tough man, is the Northern Ireland international.
20'
McAuley benefits from the magic sponge and should be OK to continue. It's been a busy afternoon thus far for referee Mark Clattenburg who is officiating his final Premier League game.

West Brom are known as the set-piece specialists but they can't put the ball into the back of the net from their first corner of the game. Meanwhile, there's a pause in play as McAuley goes down with a head injury.

FINE SAVE! Evans curls an inviting cross to the back post where Brunt out-jumps Fuchs and arrows a header at goal but Schmeichel does well to parry the ball behind.
16'
Brunt floats the free-kick into the Leicester box but Huth rises highest and clears with a header.
15'
YELLOW CARD: A crunching tackle from Drinkwater on Chadli is deemed a foul - and booking - for the Leicester midfielder. He got the ball but it was rather reckless.

Yacob goes down as he's caught in the face by Ndidi's arm. It looks like a yellow card but Mark Clattenburg gives the Leicester midfielder the benefit of doubt. It's all rather scrappy at the moment.

But the Northern Ireland international sends it way over the bar. A poor effort which is greeted by cheers from the travelling Leicester supporters.
11'
Down at the other end and Benalouane concedes a needless foul. West Brom have a free-kick in a central area, 25 yards out. Brunt is over it...
10'
Drinkwater aims the ball into the West Brom penalty area where Huth is making a nuisance of himself but the hosts win the header and are able to make a clearance.
9'
Vardy is caught by Yacob but referee Mark Clattenburg allows Leicester the advantage before bringing it back and giving the West Brom defender a telling off.
8'
A sustained spell of pressure from West Brom in the visitors' final third but neither Chadli or Dawson are able to deliver a cross.
7'
The hosts seem content to sit deep and hit Leicester on the counter-attack when the opportunity presents itself.

STAT: West Brom are in danger of going five league matches without a goal for the first time in their history.
5'
Ndidi is teed up by Okazaki to have a shot from 20 yards and the midfielder obliges but the effort takes a deflection and heads out for Leicester's first corner of the game which subsequently comes to nothing.
4'
Vardy has scored on his last two visits to the Hawthorns and he's sure to cause the hosts more problems this afternoon.
3'
Drinkwater comes forward in midfield and searches out Vardy who makes a clever run behind the West Brom defence, but he's forced to track back and ends up giving possession away.
