Baggies wary of Fryatt threat
Simon Cox insists he and his West Brom team-mates must be on their guard against in-form striker Matt Fryatt as the Baggies prepare to take on Leicester at the Walkers Stadium on Saturday.[LNB]Three wins in a row have helped newly-promoted Leicester up to fourth place in the Championship, with Fryatt's nine goals in 15 league games key to their encouraging start.[LNB]The 23-year-old has carried on where he left off in League One last season, when he fired in 27 goals to help the Foxes to the title.[LNB]Cox, who hit 29 goals in the same division for Swindon before moving to The Hawthorns this summer, told his club's official website: "Fryatt is a player who works hard and his record last year was good.[LNB]"He was consistent and one of the reasons they got promotion. We have to be on our guard.[LNB]"He can make the step up. He's still high on confidence.[LNB]"The manager there (Nigel Pearson) obviously told him he would play and he's cracked on, carrying on his form.[LNB]"He's already in double figures (in all competitions) for this year so he has done well."[LNB]Cox has not made such an impressive start at the higher level as Fryatt but marked only his second league start with a goal in the 5-0 win over Watford last weekend, when he also picked up the man of the match award.[LNB]"It's nice to be back playing again," he said. "If you look at the Watford game we were very up for it and I was playing with a smile on my face from the first minute to the last.[LNB]"The first game I started was the Plymouth one and I was in awe of the surroundings and getting my first start.[LNB]"I think I got lost in that and overwhelmed. On Saturday I forgot all about that and it went well for me so I was happy."[LNB]West Brom midfielder Youssouf Mulumbu has returned to training after tweaking his knee ligaments to ensure Baggies boss Roberto di Matteo has close to a fully-fit squad, while Aleksandar Tunchev (knee) remains Leicester's only absentee.[LNB][LNB] Leicester v West Brom.
