Ex-Aston Villa man set to miss West Brom's clash with Leicester but Foxes have 'luxury' ahead of Friday night game
Leicester City are the visitors to The Hawthorns on Friday evening - as Albion looked to find their form again after back to back defeats.
Marti Cifuentes' side arrive at Albion having had a similar start to the season - with Friday's visitors just one point better off following their opening few games.
His trip to The Hawthorns comes just months on from the QPR boss being linked with a move to Albion in the summer - prior to Ryan Mason's arrival.
The Foxes have failed to set the Championship on fire so far after relegation from the Premier League - but they will hope to continue their solid record at Albion that they have amassed over the years.
And going into it, it seems like the Foxes boss will have the luxury of options to choose from.
Leicester are without defender Harry Souttar who is out with a long term injury - and the only other absentee is former Aston Villa youngster Aaron Ramsey. He is serving another two games of a suspension, having been send off at Oxford.
And Cifuentes has said that at the moment he has a problem that every manager up and down the EFL wants to have.
He said: “It’s a luxury problem for me and it was a bit of a headache during the week to pick not only the 11 but the squad.
“It’s a credit to the staff and the team. Soutts is coming back from a long-term injury, so that’s a great possibility for me. When I look back to the bench, we have a lot of possibilities as well.”
