Leicester City are the visitors in the Premier League, when the Hawthorns unites as one to mark the memory of the man known as 'the King.'

Astle made 361 Albion appearances and scored 174 goals, famously netting the only goal against Everton in the 1968 FA Cup final.

The launch of the Jeff Astle Foundation will promote research and awareness into chronic traumatic encephalopathy, the serious brain condition that claimed his life at the age of just 59.

The current Baggies team will wear a replica kit from Astle's finest hour – the cup final – to mark what is a special occasion.

The family of the late former striker are also present to officially launch the foundation in his name, 13 years after his death.

Fans will raise placards in the ninth minute of the game to spell out an Astle-related message while his youngest grandson, two-year-old Joseph, will play a part in a pre-match ceremony.
