Forgot about Sandro being there. And Pritch. If ever there was a game for Pritch to get some minutes it's this one. Sandro to break a few legs. Unveil a Spurs jersey underneath his WBA one as the ref shows him the red card

I'd Keegan love it if Pritchard scored the winner against Leicester. As it is, he won't even get off the bench. Too much of a footballer for Pulis' liking.

Don't think tonight is the night that Leicester will drop points.

West Brom are cack, and even if they do attack like they did against Palace that will play into Leicester's hands.

I think away at Watford on Saturday looks a more likely place for them to drop points.

Agree to an extent... but you can be sure that with it being Pulis, he'll set them up to barely cross the halfway line. So, you never know.

Well I would have agreed but they went a bit crazy at the weekend playing Berahino, Rondon and Sessegnon.

I still can't believe that the Norwich game was only the 3rd time this season that Leicester have had more possession than the opposition. It really is weird that nobody has figured out how to sort them out (Spurs included).

I think as far as we are concerned, 4 games out of 5 with the balance of play we had in the last game, we'd have taken them... but yeah, you're right... It has been clear for a few months that if you want a result against Leicester you should let them have the ball and play them at their own game.

It becomes difficult for them now because I'd be certain every team that plays them from now until the end of the season with the possible exception of Chelsea will let them have the ball. That puts a lot of pressure on them to attack a bedded in defence. And they've struggled every time they've had to do this.

If I were Pulis, I'd have 9 men behind the ball and Berahino sitting on the halfway line. Huth and Morgan have been excellent but they're slow and are an almost perfect pair of CBs to hit on the counter.

Problem is of course that if Leicester get one against a team like West Brom who then have to attack, you're looking at a cricket score very easily.

That was at home to the worst team in the league form wise, though. A repeat of Everton away would be very nice tonight.

Watford are so unpredictable though, there is no consistency or pattern in their results. WBAs problem is the same as Swansea, scoring goals. Apart from that, they are not the worst team out there.

I don't like to see players getting injured but a Vardy hammie would be a real treat around the 10 minute mark tonight.

I really hope Pulis parks the bus and that the cbs are staying really low throughout the game. Vardy will obviously beat the wba cbs in a footrace 10/10 times.

Good Lord I feel dirty rooting for a Pulis team. Especially one that ignores Sandro (I know, he's not the player he was, but this type of match is made for him) and Pritchard.
