No changes to the team that played vs. Coventry. That ment no start for Jeremy Monga and no trust from his manager, again left on the bench.

Leicester were going out with high press and possession. They looked the better team all over the field early on.

But as Leicester missed their opportunies and chances, West Brom did the total opposite. Their first real chance ended in a goal, scored by Samuel Iling Junior. This happened in the 10th minute.

Leicester continued their pressure, but could not convert and had great struggle creating those chances leading to a goal.

Leicester manager Marti Cifuentes nade on change at hslft time, taking off Jordan James, bringing .on Julian Carranza.

Leicester made more changes in the second half. Jeremy Monga got minutes. Marti Cifuentes also gave Patson Daka, Bobby De-Cordova Reid and Victor Kristiansen time to show themselves.

Despite those changes it looked a bit fragile at times. This is far from fluid, but in some way this group seems to have that survival edge. Leicester scoring that equalizer in stoppage time from an West Brom leg deflecting a Bobby De-Cordova Reid shot.

Leicester picked up one point and are currently third in the table. A difficult day, satisfied with a point.
