Good afternoon and welcome to live coverage of West Bromwich Albion and Leicester City in the Premier League. Teams to follow shortly.

A long ball in behind Justin finds Furlong, who gets the first touch to it and takes it into the area. Justin catches Furlong with his sliding challenge and it's a yellow card. Free kick in a dangerous position here...

Diangana tries to spin away from Mendy, but is clipped as he does so with a late challenge. Free kick to West Brom and a yellow card.

West Brom nick the ball in the centre circle but Diangana can't quite find Robinson with his ball over the top and Ndidi clears.

A lovely move from West Brom. Diangana slips a nice pass through to Robinson, who squares it to Furlong at the back post but his cross is blocked behind. The flag then belatedly goes up for offside again, but that was nice build-up play.

Corner to West Brom as Ndidi shanks a back pass to Schmiechel behind. It's whipped in to the front post but Leicester clear.

Leicester knock it around the back four. Ndidi usually occupies the holding midfield spot for the visitors but has been forced to fill in at centre back today due to the volume of suspensions and injuries Leicester have in that position.

A sprightly start from West Brom, with a lovely switch of play to Furlong on the right. For a brief second Diangana looks like he's in on the right but is flagged offside.

We're underway at the Hawthorns.

All the players take the knee before kick-off, because black lives matter.

The captains Jake Livermore and Kasper Schmeichel are ready to lead the teams out at the Hawthorns. Your referee today will be Anthony Taylor.

Historically Leicester have the edge in this fixture, with 51 wins to West Brom’s 39, and 24 draws between the two.

It will be interesting to see if Leicester City can arrest an alarming slide in 2020. After a victory over Newcastle United at St James’ Park on New Year’s Day, the Foxes were second in the league and looked certain to qualify for the Champions League. A miserable second half of the interrupted season saw them win four, draw five and lose eight of their remaining games and they finished fifth. It still means European football this season, but not at the level they’d hoped for. Can Brendon Rodgers return his team to the level they hit in the first half of 2019/20?

West Brom are back in the Premier League after a two-year absence. Manager Slaven Bilic achieved direct promotion from the Championship in 2019/20, ten points behind the winners Leeds United. With getting up sorted, staying up is now the priority; only Fulham are tipped as more likely for relegation this season with the bookmakers.

No Jonny Evans for Leicester today, who is serving a suspension, and it is also the first game without Ben Chilwell who has transferred to Chelsea. It’s a debut in his place for Timothy Castagne, the Belgian international recently signed from Atalanta in Serie A.

West Brom are lining up in a 3-4-3 today. Their front three combine Grady Diangana, Callum Robinson and Matheus Pereira, all now signed to permanent deals after being loaned to West Brom last season.
