Leicester
- Conor Townsend and Kenneth Zohore are injury doubts heading into West Brom's Premier League return.
- Slaven Bilic's side have signed Grady Diangana on a permanent deal from West Ham following the success of last season's loan.
- The newly promoted side have also signed Brighton goalkeeper David Button, Sheffield United striker Callum Robinson and Wigan centre-back Cedric Kipre.
- 21-year-old Dara O'Shea is in competition with Darnell Furlong to start at right-back for the Baggies.
- Hal Robson-Kanu, Charlie Austin and Robinson compete to lead the line up front for West Brom.
- Brendan Rodgers has a crisis at the back heading into Leicester's first game of the new season.
- Jonny Evans starts a three-match ban after he was sent off on the final day and Wes Morgan and Christian Fuchs only resumed first-team training on Friday. Filip Benkovic is ruled out.
- Wilfred Ndidi started Leicester's final pre-season game at centre-back and will have to deputise there on Saturday if Morgan isn't passed fit. Josh Knight, 23, who spent last season on loan at Peterborough, is also an option to partner Caglar Soyuncu at the back.
- Ricardo Pereira is on the road to recovery from a serious knee injury dating back to March and Leicester aren't expecting him back until next month.
- James Maddison has managed to train this week after finally overcoming a hip problem dating back to last season. It wouldn't be a surprise if he only made the bench against West Brom.
- Leicester have signed Timothy Castagne from Atalanta to replace Ben Chilwell but Luke Thomas is an option to start here if Brendan Rodgers needs more time to work with his new signing.
