Leicester City are dropping down the table like a stone at the moment and now sit just three points above the relegation zone. Any chance they had of retaining their title is long gone and their battle is now to survive in the Premier League. They face West Ham United on Saturday and the Hammers are going in the opposite direction and a win here could see them climb into the top half of the table for the first time this season.
Leicester City v West Ham – Bettting Tips for the game
Leicester City have recorded just one win in their last nine matches and it’s a far cry from their terrific form last season. Three losses, a draw and a 4-2 win over Manchester City has left Claudio Ranieri scratching his head, wondering where it has all gone wrong and their will have to be a dramatic improvement should they wish to be playing Premier League football next season.
West Ham, after an inconsistent start to the season, come into this match in great form with three wins in a row. They are undefeated in their last four and will come here confident of landing all three points.
The corresponding fixture last season finished 2-2 with Leicester City winning the reverse fixture 2-1, but current form is suggesting an away win in this match.
