West Ham United vs Leicester City Prediction
West Ham United are currently 15th in the league, and have lost three of their last five league games. The Hammers are only two points behind 18th-placed Southampton, and given their heavy investment during the summer transfer window, their current form is clearly not in line with their ambitions as a club.
West Ham United have more than enough to avoid getting dragged into a relegation battle. Manager David Moyes will hope that the post-World Cup environment will provide respite and a fresh start to many of his players; mainly star summer acquisitions Gianluca Scamacca and Lucas Paqueta.
Leicester City, on the other hand, are currently 14th in the league, level on points with West Ham United. Contrary to the opposition's form, the Foxes have won three of their last five league games and have started performing fairly well after an abysmal start to their league campaign.
The star is midfielder James Maddison, and there have been calls for England manager Gareth Southgate to include the 25-year-old in the World Cup squad. That, however, looks unlikely.
A close game is on the cards, and a draw seems likely.
