Adam Webster played the full 90 minutes as Albion took all three points against Arsenal in the first game back after the restart.

Adam Webster believes Saturday’s win 2-1 over Arsenal has given Albion the perfect platform to take on Leicester City at the King Power Stadium this evening.

“It was the perfect restart for us - and now we have to build on it,” he said. 

“We knew when we restarted the season that we had some tough matches ahead, so to be able to get going with a win like that was brilliant for the group. 

“It was a massive show of character as well to come from behind to win against one of the biggest clubs in Europe. But we were always confident even when we went 1-0 down because we’d limited them to few chances.”

It’s been a quick turnaround ahead of tonight’s trip to the King Power Stadium but after more than three months without a game Webster says the players relish the busy schedule between now and the end of the season, with eight more games to play before 26th July.

“We have good momentum from the weekend and another match is the best thing to have when the mood is like that,” he added.

“We have to go there and do what we did at the weekend – be hard to beat and try to get a good result and kick on.

“It’s another tough game. Leicester are in the top four for a reason and have lots on quality throughout their side. But we feel confident. We want to give a good account of ourselves and take the game to them if we can.”
