Dick Sheppard keeps Leicester at bay as Albion come from 2-0 down to win 3-2 at Filbert Street, 23rd March 1968

A nervy but worthy - and above all, enjoyable - win on Saturday has given us a timely boost after a very difficult six weeks in Albionland. We'll be heading into the springtime effectively safe from relegation, needing just another win and a couple of draws to see us over the line. Of course, Leicester have already long since achieved that objective, and are hunting for points for a very different reason; one which would have seemed ludicrous this time last year. It's been suggested that the lack of pressure on Leicester is the very reason they've been able to become such pacesetters in the title race while the likes of City and Arsenal have fallen away; however, coming into these final few months, with the dream seeming ever more possible, there will be an increasing weight of expectation on the Foxes to grind out wins in matches like this. Against a poor Norwich side on Saturday, it took eight-nine minutes to find the necessary breakthrough: can Albion prove an even more frustrating obstacle?

For me, the fixture between the sides in October demonstrated that there's not an immense gulf in quality between the two teams, in a match Albion were ultimately unlucky to lose. Approach this as a winnable game, and with a little luck, we may get our reward this time.
