Leicester City’s troubles in the season aren’t easing; their loss to Liverpool on Thursday made things worse. They will be looking to get their footing when they host West Ham United on Sunday. Ahead of the game, Leicester have dropped to 12th place with 26 points while West Ham United are fourth on 40 points. A poor season so far has Leicester City on just seven wins in the league, after 21 matches, they’ve been eliminated from the FA Cup and Europa League and are forced to deal with a lot of injuries. It has been bad for them defensively; in the top 13, they have the poorest defence, having conceded 39 goals. Going into this game, Leicester are winless in their last four matches – three losses and a draw, having conceded two or more in three of the four games. In the last five league matches, Leicester have one win and three losses, conceding two or more goals in three of the five.

West Ham United’s recent days have been dominated by a video of Kurt Zouma hitting his cat, which even overshadowed their win over Watford, which saw the team rise into the top four. It is expected the Frenchman will miss this game as pressure mounts over the incident. Meanwhile, West Ham will be hoping to consolidate their place in the top four as two sides below them lurk. Jarrod Bowen was on the mark with West Ham’s only goal against Watford and he is a man they will really rely on here, having scored five times in the last five matches. The win marked a recovery from a two-game losing run in the league, and now West Ham have four wins in their last six matches. They’ve only failed to score in only one of the last six league matches and they only have two clean sheets in that run. In recent meetings with Leicester City, it is West Ham United who have thrived, winning each of the last three and scoring three or more goals in those matches..
