This Saturday sees the return of Joe Mattock to the Walkers Stadium as the foxes take on West Brom in their Remembrance Day fixture.
In the last 15 years Leicester have played West Brom eight times and only one of those matches has finished in a draw. Leicester have won four of the previous meetings with West Brom winning the other three.
The last time the two teams met was at The Hawthorns in 2008, the season West Brom got promoted and Leicester got relegated but The Blues recorded an emphatic 4-1 victory.
In the 2007/08 season West Brom got promoted and Leicester were relegated, then in 2008/09 season Leicester got promoted and West Brom got relegated and now in the 2009/10 season both teams are sitting pretty towards the top end of the table.
One of the big talking points is of course going to be the return of Leicester boy Joe Mattock who controversially left City over the summer. Leicester born Mattock is a life-long fan of The Foxes, but chose to depart over the summer without giving any warning to manager Nigel Pearson.
Mattock made his debut for Leicester at just 16 and made a total of 73 appearances for the club scoring just the one goal. He went from hero to zero with the fans having been an instrumental part of The Foxes promotion back to The Championship only to abandon his home team a matter of months later.
The Remembrance Day fixture will hopefully be one to remember this year and if results go our way and we stick seven past The Baggies we could even finish the weekend top of the table!
