West Bromwich Albion v Leicester City

1. West Brom XI: Myhill, Dawson, McAuley, Evans, Brunt, Sessegnon, Yacob, Fletcher, McClean, Berahino, Rondon.
2. Leicester XI: Schmeichel, Simpson, Morgan, Huth, Schlupp, Mahrez, Drinkwater, Kante, Albrighton, Ulloa, Vardy.

FULL-TIME

Rickie Lambert goes close from close range to force a save from Schmeichel, and now it's all over and Leicester have another away win.

YELLOW CARD

Kasper Schmeichel is booked for a bit of time wasting. The Foxes are taking their time, and time is running out for the hosts.

YELLOW CARD

Robert Huth launches himself to bring down Salomon Rondon, earning the first booking of the game.

Close! 

Calum McManaman curls a teasing shot just around Schmeichel's left-hand post. 

GOAL

A classy penalty from Rickie Lambert sends Kasper Schmeichel the wrong way to make for a nerve-jangling last few minutes. A different game now!

PENALTY

Nathan Dyer brings down Calum McManaman for a penalty.

That goal was typical Jamie Vardy, he gets the ball puts his heads down and runs at your defence and his pace has caused Albion real problems all afternoon.”

Tony Brown on BBC WM

Vardy is level with Daniel Sturridge on eight in a row, and only Ruud van Nistelrooy (10 in a row twice) is ahead of him in the Premier League record books.

That's goals in eight games in a row for Vardy, who scores when he wants, according the jubilant Leicester fans.

GOAL

Jamie Vardy scores for Leicester!

Danny Drinkwater and the England man exchange passes, but it's Vardy who homes in on goal to bury the ball low beyond Boaz Myhill to possibly seal three points for the Foxes.

SUBSTITUTION

Rickie Lambert replaces Saido Berahino, James Morrison is on for Claudio Yacub for the hosts, while Nathan Dyer steps in for Marc Albrighton.

A succession of crosses and passes into Leicester's box are collected comfortably by Kasper Schmeichel as the Foxes soak up the home pressure with some ease.

I blame Sessegnon for that goal, he’s gone back to his bad old ways he didn’t track back with his man and he was allowed to get the ball in the box from Mahrez to score, Sessegnon has to track his runners.”

Tony Brown on BBC WM

SUBSTITUTION

Andy King replaces Leonardo Ulloa, who's first Premier League start of the season after a hamstring injury is over.

GOAL

Leicester take the lead!

Marc Albrighton clipped in the cross from the right, it took a deflection and Riyad Mahrez slid in to bury the ball home from close range. West Brom claimed offside, but the ball's last touch was off a home leg - the goal stands.

That treatment nearly did the trick ,as Vardy has gone just inches wide of what would have been a sublime goal. Jeffrey Schlupp's cross was met with a cheeky deflectionthat was just wide.

Darren Fletcher is begging for a penalty, the Scot is claiming that Robert Huth illegally barged him to the ground in the area.

Worryingly for Leicester, Jamie Vardy is having treatment on his right ankle and is moving a bit gingerly now.

At this level you can’t afford to give wide players too much space and allow them to get dangerous balls into the box, Albion didn’t stop the ball in and they’ve paid the price.”

Tony Brown on BBC WM

GOAL

Riyad Mahrez equalizes for Leicester! 

Almost from nowhere the Foxes are level, Marc Albrighton's teasing cross from the left being met perfectly at the far post with a neat side-footed finish for his sixth goal in the Premier League this season.

PA

Jonny Evans goes on what Bill McLaren used to call a "mazy run" towards the area, but as the pass goes through, Saido Berahino is flagged just offside.

Stephane Sessegnon floats a corner over from the left but Kasper Schmeichel claims it well. His dinked clearance is intercepted in midfield and Leicester's hopes of a breakaway are thwarted.

Referee Anthony Taylor isn't too happy with West Brom, urging them to get on with it at a throw-in. Too early to waste time yet, but the hosts are keeping possession nicely at the moment.

Leicester win a rare corner, which Marc Albrighton swings over only to see Salomon Rondon get back to help his defence out with a pressure-easing header.

Salomon Rondon makes the most of a mistake from Jeffrey Schlupp, stabbing the ball across from the right towards James McClean. Just as he pulls the trigger to shoot, Danny Simpson steals in with a well-timed tackle in the area.

PA

We're back under way, there are no changes to either side.

Leicester had the more chances - but have nothing to show for it as yet.

Opta

West Brom had just three attempts on goal, including their actual goal, in the first 45.

Opta

Leicester edging the possession, but it's West Brom who've made the most of what they've had.

Opta

HALF-TIME

Leicester looked the likelier to open the scoring early on, but West Brom kept calm and made the most of their first decent chance when Salomon Rondon nodded in for the lead.

PA

James McClean shoots on the run from some distance but his shot shapes away from the right-hand post and into the home fans behind Kasper Schmeichel.

Leicester always come out strong and get in your face and they did in this game but Albion have got the goal and have something to drive them on.”

Tony Brown BBC WM

The hosts win yet another corner, and they're incensed that a tangle between Robert Huth and Gareth McAuley does not result in a penalty. Instead Leicester get a free-kick to relieve the pressure. 

Another corner for West Brom, this time Chris Brunt swings it in from the right and Darren Fletcher is just short of nodding it in at the far post. 

Within seconds Leicester are on the attack, and Boaz Myhill uses his feet to get the ball away from the lurking Leonardo Ulloa.

West Brom haven't deserved to lead, but they're in front. It was an excellent goal, obviously rehearsed on the training ground."

Getty Images

West Brom's one on-target attempt has resulted in their lead, no wonder Claudio Ranieri looks grumpy on the touchline.

Jame Vardy chances his arm from the edge of the box, but Jonny Evans takes the full-blooded shot on the body and eases the danger.

There’s my man Rondon, I said last week that goal would give him confidence and I love his work off the ball. He makes space and he’s a good finisher when he gets the chance.”

Tony Brown on BBC WM

GOAL

Salomon Rondon heads in to put West Brom ahead.

Stephane Sessegnon whipped in a corner and Rondon nipped in to divert it in. Kasper Schmeichel got a hand to it but there was too much power and the Baggies are ahead.

Getty Images

“Albion are giving Leicester far too much space and are lingering on the ball for too long, there’s no cohesion.”

Tony Brown on BBC WM

Chris Brunt drives a long-range free-kick into the wall, winning his side's first corner. Kasper Schmeichel punches away powerfully, and Brunt is back to his defensive duties to snuff out Leicester's break-away.

Darren Fletcher tries a risky backpass from midfield with Jamie Vardy lurking, but Boaz Myhill calms things down. 

PA

Leonardo Ulloa takes a running jump to a high ball in the West Brom area but his header lacks power and direction, drifting wide of the left post. Seconds later Marc Albrighton hits a low shot that curls a a yard wide of the right-hand stick.

Chris Brunt puts a hopeful pass about 20 yards too far in front of James McClean, summing up West Brom's display so far.

It's slightly better from the home side, but the final pass is lacking, with Saido Berahino remonstrating with his midfield for not giving him the chance to shine.

Murmurs of disapproval as Darren Fletcher overhits a long pass towards Salomon Rondon. Not a great start from the hosts.

Getty Images

It's all Leicester so far. West Brom have yet to make much of an impact.

HITS THE WOODWORK

Jamie Vardy goes close to scoring for the eighth game in a row, turning Jonny Evans inside out before seeing his low left-footed shot under Boaz Myhill take a touch off the keeper and off the post across the face of the goal.

Getty Images

Marc Albrighton lines up a shot in the area, but Craig Dawson flings himself in the way. The visitors have made the better start of the two, that's for sure.

Jamie Vardy's a busy boy already, winning Leicester the game's first corner. He actually gets the ball in the net after a neat backheel from Leonardo Ulloa but the Argentine is flagged for a very marginal offside. 

Jeffrey Schlupp bursts down the left flank, but with Jamie Vardy and Leonado Ulloa waiting for a cross in the area, the left-back's touch is leaden-footed and the ball goes out for a goal kick.

KICK-OFF

After a warm greeting between the opposing managers, we're under way with N'Golo Kante giving away the first free-kick of the day deep in West Brom's half.

Can this lot do what only Tottenham and West Ham have managed in Prem this season? Stop Vardy scoring.

Horror show

It's Halloween today, in case you hadn't noticed, and the Foxes have gone pun-crazy. Good thing? Bad thing?

'Without tomato there is no pizza!'

This week saw Foxes boss Claudio Ranieri make good on his promise to treat his players to a pizza if they kept a clean sheet for the first time this season, which they did when edging out Crystal Palace 1-0 last week.

"What we are doing here is like a pizza," said the affable Italian in the build-up to today's match.  "To do well you have to have the right ingredients - players, team spirit, fans - and you need a sprinkle of good luck.

"The fans are the tomato. Without tomato there is no pizza! The topping for all of us would be to get to 40 points."

Stop it please, Claudio, you're making me hungry...

Fans' favourite

Salomon Rondon is proving the home fans' choice for pictures upon arrival at The Hawthorns. Perhaps for his goal-scoring exploits, rather than taste in hats.

Vardy - more goals than West Brom

Alistair Bruce-Ball

BBC Radio 5 live commentator at The Hawthorns

"West Brom - 10 Premier League games, eight goals; Jamie Vardy - 10 games, 10 goals.

"The 28-year-old has also scored more Premier League goals than Liverpool and Stoke this season and his manager, Claudio Ranieri, has said this week that not only do the club not want to sell him but it is only the likes of Real Madrid who could afford him at the moment. 

"So can West Brom stop him scoring in an eighth consecutive Premier League game?

"Tony Pulis has got the Baggies back to what they do best. They come into this one on the back of 1-0 wins against Sunderland and Norwich, so they'll certainly be a tough nut to crack."

Long-time coming

Baggies in Vardy's sights

Two straight wins have pushed West Brom up to 10th in the table, and clean sheets in both those victories - over Sunderland and Norwich - added an impressive sheen.

But Tony Pulis' back line have to contend with Leicester's Jamie Vardy, a man for whom the phrase 'bang in form' seems perfectly apt right now. 

He's netted in seven consecutive Premier League outings, and has 10 in total so far. Will that hot streak continue today?
