Meanwhile, inconsistent West Ham come into this game looking for a strong reaction following a bruising 5-2 defeat at home to title challengers Arsenal last time out. Prior to that, the Hammers had defeated Newcastle United at St James’ Park for only their second away league win of 2024/25. Under pressure Julen Lopetegui has struggled to make an impact since replacing David Moyes in the summer, with the Irons currently 14th in the table, eight points outside of the European places. Another defeat against Leicester City today could prove costly for the Spaniard, with reports stating the Hammers hierarchy are eyeing up former Porto boss Sergio Conceicao as a replacement for the former Real Madrid and Sevilla manager.

The Ruud van Nistelrooy era at Leicester City begins for the first time today as his Foxes side host fellow bottom-half strugglers West Ham in the Premier League. The former Manchester United interim coach was appointed as Steve Cooper’s successor last week but watched on from the stands as his new side were thrashed 4-1 away to Brentford at the weekend. The 2015-16 top-flight champions only have a one point buffer over relegation threatened Crystal Palace, Wolves and Ipswich Town at the bottom of the table having lost three Premier League games in a row. However, Van Nistelrooy will be hoping the new manager bounce may benefit his team in front of an expectant home crowd.
