West Ham Preview & Form
West Ham will come into this game on the back of a shocking 1-0 victory against Arsenal last weekend at Emirates Stadium, thanks to captain Jarrod Bowen’s goal in the first half. The shocking victory ended the Irons’s four-league-match winless run under Graham Potter, losing three and playing a draw. Graham Potter is experiencing a tough start to life on his return to his managerial career, with his side having won just twice in the last eight league matches. Currently, the Hammers sit 16th in the Premier League standings with 30 points, just 13 points behind the drop zone.
The Hammers have struggled with form on their home soil as they are currently riding on a two-match losing streak in the league and have won only once in the last five league matches. They have lost 7 of their 13 home matches and have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last 7 home matches.
Leicester City Preview & Form

Last weekend, the Foxes were hammered 4-0 by Brentford on Friday night, with the Bees dominating the game. Since the appointment of Ruud Van Nistelrooy, the Foxes have only won two Premier League games. Van Nistelrooy’s side currently sits 19th in the Premier League table with 17 points from 25 games, just five points adrift of safety. They struggle to maintain defensive compactness, having failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last 19 matches.
On the road, the Foxes have also lost seven of their last eight matches and have only picked up two wins in their away games this season. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last 12 away matches.
