Leicester City vs West Ham Prediction
Leicester are in smashing form in the Premier League, and haven't done their confidence any harm with that sensational win over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium last week.
Vardy is once again on the goal trail, and West Ham will be wary of him. The Hammers themselves will not be too downcast going into this game though. The win against Wolves means that they are also reasonably high on confidence. That means that a good game could be in store at the King Power.
We are predicting Leicester to win a close game.
