Leicester City take on the visitors West Ham United at the King Power Stadium in the 10th tour of the Premier League. The match will be played in the eponymous city Leicester on Saturday, October 27th.
Last tour Leicester City lost to Arsenal with a 1-3 score. However, they showed a pretty solid performance overall in that match. The Foxes had a high chance of even drawing in that game but allowed two quick goals in the course of the match. Their loss could be justified though with the recent shape the Gunners have been in. Overall, the team of Claude Puel has already lost several games this Premier League season but has looked good in all of them. The main problem they have been having recently has been their defensive line. However, the team often concedes only a few goals in their home fixtures even against the fully offensive clubs. For example, Liverpool have managed to score only one goal against the Foxes recently. Thereby it is hard to believe that Leicester City will concede more than one goal from West Ham United on Saturday. In their last three matches Leicester City lost to Arsenal with a 1-3 score, to Everton with a 1-2 score and beat Newcastle United with a 2-0 score. In their 1/16-finals fixture of the EFL Cup the Foxes beat Wolverhampton Wanderers in a penalty shootout.

Even though there are lots of great players in the squad of West Ham United the team is pretty weak as a unit. The Hammers have bought a lot of new footballers in the off-season but haven’t managed to use them properly yet. Interestingly, the same situation happened to the team last season too. The most positive thing about the team of Manuel Pellegrini recently has been their victory over Manchester United with a 3-1 score. However, the Red Devils were in a terrible shape for that game anyway. Even though the Irons have managed to score three goals against Manchester United they have scored only eight goals overall so far this Premier League season. The team from East London has been pretty unproductive lately. Also, the Irons lost their last two league games in a row. In their last three matches overall West Ham United lost to Tottenham Hotspur with a 0-1 score, to Brighton & Hove Albion with the same 0-1 score and beat Manchester United with a 3-1 score. In the 1/16-finals fixture of the EFL Cup the Hammers beat Macclesfield with a 8-0 score.
Leicester City are the clear favourite in the lead-up to their upcoming fixture against West Ham United. The Foxes are super motivated to get a victory after they lost their last two league fixtures in a row. The Hammers on the other hand are really far from their peak shape at the moment. The key striker for the team Chicharito has been unproductive recently. Another key player for West Ham United Andriy Yarmolenko is out with the injury right now. Only Marko Arnautovic could make the result for the team of Manuel Pellegrini on Saturday, he has already scored four goals for the team this season. It is likely that West Ham United will score one goal against Leicester City at best in their upcoming match between them.
Prediction for the match: West Ham United to score under 1.0 goal.
