Leicester XI vs West Ham – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Leicester City head to London to face West Ham tonight aiming to turn around their poor Premier League form.

Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side have lost 10 of their last 11 league games and remain mired in the relegation places.

The Foxes have failed to score in five of their last six and are currently five points from safety. Defeat for Wolves this week has handed Leicester a chance to close the gap, however, and Van Nistelrooy’s side won on their last trip to the capital against Tottenham on January 26.

West Ham are just three places above Leicester but comfortably clear of trouble. The Hammers upset Arsenal at the weekend with a 1-0 win at the Emirates and are hoping to build on that result under new head coach Graham Potter.

The Foxes remain without Abdul Fatawu and Ricardo Pereira who are long-term absentees.

Leicester will also assess James Justin, who missed the defeat to Brentford with an ankle issue but is in contention to return.

Van Nistelrooy has favoured Bobby De Cordova-Reid and Jordan Ayew in the wide roles due to their work rate, but could look to switch up his forward line with Leicester struggling for goals. Stephy Mavididi and Facundo Buonanotte are pushing for recalls. Only Jamie Vardy (8) has scored more goals than that duo (Both 5) for Leicester this season.
