Jamie Vardy and Wilfred Ndidi will be fit when Leicester resume their Premier League campaign against West Brom at the King Power Stadium on Monday Night Football.

Vardy was left out of the England squad due to an ongoing hip problem but the striker has recovered during the international break, while a suspected hamstring injury sustained by Ndidi while playing for Nigeria turned out to be just cramp.

Leicester sit 17th in the Premier League after a frustrating start to the season, and are looking for only their second win as the two sides face each other live on Sky Sports Premier League from 7pm.

Paul Merson's prediction

Leicester have been a bit unlucky this season. They have had some really hard games and they are not as bad as their league position suggests. This will be another tricky one for Leicester but I think it's one they can win.

PAUL PREDICTS: 2-0 (15/2 with Sky Bet)
