Leicester City vs West Ham Preview
Both teams were beaten heavily at the weekend and this feels like a massive game for West Ham boss Julen Lopetegui. He is back under scrutiny again after such a big defeat at home against Arsenal. West Ham, was involved in one of the wildest games of the season, suffering a 5-2 home defeat to Arsenal. The new manager bounce may benefit Leicester on the attacking front, but their defensive vulnerabilities will not be fixed overnight, and a Kudus-reinforced West Ham will surely strike at least twice at the King Power.
Despite winning just four of their opening 13 games under Lopetegui, there is little fear that the Hammers will be dragged into a relegation battle. For West Ham run of fixtures between now and Christmas seems fairly gentle, before Liverpool and Manchester City loom on the festive horizon. run of fixtures between now and Christmas seems fairly gentle, before Liverpool and Manchester City loom on the festive horizon.
Leicester City vs West Ham Team news
Ruud van Nistelrooy takes charge of his first game as Leicester boss, and could make a couple of changes here. Caleb Okoli’s participation in the forthcoming game appears to be in doubt following his unfortunate clash with goalkeeper Hermansen during the game against Brentford. Meanwhile, Fatawu, Winks, Pereira, and Stolarczyk will continue to miss out. The Hammers will be bolstered by the return of Mohammed Kudus, who was away from the team following a five-match suspension.
