Leicester City: Midfielder Matty James has urged his teammates to expect a hard test in Saturday's Premier League match at West Bromwich Albion, saying that the bottom side will be desperate for points in their fight to avoid relegation.
While one of the most exciting relegation fights in Premier League history rages above them, West Brom are marooned at the bottom of the table, seemingly doomed to drop out of the top-flight after a seven-year stay.
But an hour into the game a familiar tale was told as West Brom fell behind after a remarkable piece of play between Mahrez and substitute Iheanacho.
Although Pardew has no intention of resigning, he sounded as if he was nearly anticipating the sack in the wake of the 4-1 defeat at home against Leicester City on Saturday.
Goals from Jamie Vardy, Riyad Mahrez, Kelechi Iheanacho and Vicente Iborra sealed the points in a big win for the visitors, who had initially fell behind through Salomon Rondon's opener.
Pardew, whose position remains fluid, said: "Before you even ask me the question, will I speak to those upstairs?"
As well as being costly, they feel it may hamper the process of deciding who can best lead the team next season.

The English striker hooked home a fantastic volley to keep up his fine form at West Brom in the PL and get the Foxes back on level terms at half time.
"The one thing I'm not going to do is what I said on Thursday, is I'm not going to lay down tools". I am not going to lay down tools because I am saying to the players they have to fight until the end.
Pardew's future has been a talking point amongst the fans for the last few weeks and, judging by comments that he made to BBC Sport after the loss to the Foxes, it appears that he is somewhat resigned to the possibility that he may soon be out of a job.
Will West Brom get the victory to potentially turn their season around?
"And to come off and not shake my hand".
