Stats

Leicester are unbeaten in their last 3 against West Ham.
West Ham are winless in 5 of their previous 6 away.

Head-To-Head

West Ham hold a slight edge having won 55 of their 140 matches against Leicester. City have won 51 while there has been 34 draws.

Leicester Form

Ruud van Nistelrooy was appointed as Leicester manager following Steve Cooper’s sacking. The former Man United coach takes control as the Foxes sit just one point above the relegation zone.

The Midlands outfit have taken just one point from their last five league games. Leicester drew 1-1 at Ipswich before a 3-0 defeat at Man United and a 2-1 home loss against Chelsea.

The Foxes gave up a 1-0 lead at Brentford and eventually fell to a 4-1 defeat. Facundo Buonanotte scored on 20 minutes before Leicester allowed 2.22 XG and shipped four goals.

Leicester Injuries & Team News

Goalkeeper Jakub Stolarczyk, forward Issahaku Fatawu and defender Ricardo Pereira are ruled out.

Attacker Facundo Buonanotte has scored four and assisted two in nine Premier League starts

West Ham Form

West Ham have been inconsistent this season and are 14th in the Premier League. The Hammers have struggled to push into the top half and are winless in eight of their previous 11.

Julen Lopetgui’s team lost 3-0 at Nottingham Forest and drew 0-0 with Everton before the November internationals. They returned with a 2-0 victory at Newcastle.

The East Londoners couldn’t build momentum and were thrashed 5-2 at home against Arsenal. They conceded four in 35 minutes and goals from Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Emerson couldn’t spark a comeback.

West Ham Injuries & Team News

Mohammed Kudus is available for selection following his recent suspension.

Striker Niclas Fullkrug is also set to return after a long-term calf injury.

Verdict

Leicester v West Ham

Leicester and West Ham come into this encounter following big defeats. Both sides will expect improvements and a draw has good value.
