Lewis Cox's predicted West Brom line-up: Midfielder return and can Price call help Johnston?

Ryan Mason has to halt Albion's diabolical away slump and there could be a couple of changes possible to help do so.

The Baggies are in Leicester City on Monday night for a televised fixture at the King Power Stadium where defeat would match an unwanted 99-year club record.

Mason's men have lost nine on the spin on their travels and a 10th would be the poorest sequence in almost a century - and just one shy of the all-time worst run.

It brings to an end the busy festive and new year period, though Albion have had one day's extra rest and preparation time than the rest of the Championship, where fixtures that beat the weather went ahead on Sunday.

Mason will likely make changes for the clash in the east Midlands, particularly as he went for the same starting line-up against both Queens Park Rangers, a Hawthorns victory, last Monday and in defeat at Swansea on Thursday.

Part of that, as the head coach has explained, has been limited options available for selection.

Mason has not yet been able to call on Jayson Molumby or Krystian Bielik, who have both had injuries. Midfielder Molumby has made two substitute appearances since he picked up the injury so could be in shape to make a first start. I would replace Ousmane Diakite.

Bielik was still ruled not fit enough to feature at Swans, though remained on the bench.
