Leicester City desperately needs win Thursday to avoid being dragged into top four battle
Top four in the Premier League.
It means something again, after the rebel alliance was defeated, and the UEFA Champions League is the ultimate goal of teams.
Leicester City comes into Thursday’s game with West Bromwich Albion just one point ahead of fourth place Chelsea and fifth place West Ham, and just three points ahead of sixth place Tottenham and seventh place Liverpool. Of course, the Foxes have at least a game in hand (today) on those teams.
But many fans and bettors will remember Leicester’s second half collapse last season, which cost the Foxes Champions League football.
WBA sits in 19th, but can climb to within six points of Burnley, with six matches to go.
Impossible to beat the drop? Maybe not, but wins are needed.
Leicester should have enough to win today.
