Defending champions Leicester City FC (3-4-3, 12 points) will look to boost their title-defense campaign as they host lowly club West Bromwich Albion FC (2-4-4, 10 points) at their home field of King Power Stadium on Sunday, Nov. 6 in a 2016-2017 Premier League game.

Start Time and Streaming Info

The game starts at 11:30 a.m. ET. It can be viewed live online thru FuboTV.

Leicester City's season has not gone according to plan as the team only has three wins so far after 10 rounds of competitions. They are currently winless in four of their last five matches to drop to the 11th spot of the 20-team English top flight table, tied on points with Bournemouth and Stoke City.

The Foxes were able to salvage a 1-1 draw against contending squad Tottenham Hotspur at the White Hart Lane last Saturday to pull-off a two-game unbeaten run, as per Sports Mole.

Tottenham drew first blood as Dutch forward Vincent Janssen broke the deadlock with a penalty kick in the 44th, giving the hosts a one-point advantage at the break.

Head coach Claudio Ranieri's side was able to find the equalizer just three minutes after the restart as Nigerian winger Ahmed Musa deflected Jamie Vardy's cross past the outstretched arms of Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.

Meanwhile, West Brom suffered a second consecutive defeat after the team was crushed by league leaders Manchester City, 0-4, right at their home ground of the Hawthorns last Saturday, the Mirror reported.

City players Sergio Agüero and Ilkay Gundogan both scored braces in the road walkover to hand head coach Tony Pulis' squad their fifth straight winless performance. The Argentine striker netted the first two goals of the visitors in the 19th and 28th minutes before the former Borussia Dortmund standout scored his own double in the 79th and 90th.

The Baggies are now down to the 16th place in the overall standings, just three points above the bottom three relegation zone.

Prediction and Predicted Lineup

The predicted result is a 2-1 decision for Leicester City.

Leicester City starting lineup (4-4-2 formation): Schmeichel; Simpson, Morgan, Huth, Fuchs; Mahrez, Drinkwater, King, Musa; Okazaki, Vardy
