West Ham United – Leicester City

In London, the visitors will show good football

West Ham United stunned Arsenal fans in the last round, proving once again that in the English Premier League every club can beat any favourite. Having spent a disgusting season, the Hammers even resorted to a change of head coach. After five years of playing under David Moyes, the team was led by Graham Potter, who not so long ago received a chance to prove himself in Chelsea. The victory over the "canoniers" was the second in a month and a half under the new coach. However, the situation in the London club is not so simple that the mentioned three points did not allow the "Hammers" to move from the sixteenth position. Leicester City at the end of last season became the best club in the Championship. Now "foxes" along with two other newcomers to the Premier League are slowly packing their bags back - in the second division of England. In order to get out of the "abyss", Leicester need to win without regard to the status of the opponent and the location of the match. Bookmakers have identified the home team as favourites for the upcoming meeting, offering odds of 1.62 on their victory. West Ham won the UEFA Conference League not so long ago, but on the national stage the club failed to change the status from mediocre to a higher class. The current season has been going worse than the others, which is why Moyes was sent into retirement. At the expense of what Potter is going to change the situation in West Ham, which requires radical solutions, is not clear yet. In a month and a half, the Hammers have only rented Evan Ferguson from Brighton in the transfer market. He came on as a substitute in the second halves of meetings with Brentford and Arsenal, but did not score goals. The victory over the Gunners was the first for West Ham since mid-January. Leicester's statistics is much worse than that of the upcoming opponent, as evidenced by the 17 points of the team, gained at the end of 26 rounds. The series of defeats of "foxes" is now four matches, including one cup match. Another thing is that a month ago Leicester defeated Tottenham away, which means that they may well spring a surprise in the absence of proper concentration of the opponents. It is the loss of concentration of West Ham players after the triumph over Arsenal that could be a chance for the guests of the upcoming match.
