These two sides have conceded 119 league goals between them this season so there's little chance of this preview suggesting a goalless draw. West Ham might be satisfied with that as they bid to avoid relegation and are only three points above the bottom three and with a worse goal difference than 18th placed Southampton. They have gone four league games without a win and lost the last two by a 4-1 scoreline and have two home games left after this visit to Leicester. Trouble is one is against Manchester United and the final day match against Everton, both of course previously managed by West Ham boss David Moyes. Away form has seen West Ham in a right mess with just one point from their last five and 16 goals conceded. Even if they do survive, Moyes has to be busy in the transfer market in the summer.

Leicester City are ninth in the table and don't have that much to play for. Their hopes of European football next season are over and they lost 5-0 at Crystal Palace last weekend. They have just one point from their last four league matches and probably can't wait for the season to end. No wins in their last five home league games but four of those have been drawn. This isn't easy to predict as Leicester are safe and won't be getting in the top seven. It's all about West Ham really but they are in dreadful form and can't be trusted to take advantage of Leicester's problems plus they have a terrible defence. Go for over 2.5 goals in what should be an open game.
