Leicester City hosts West Ham United in round 24 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, January 22nd at King Power Stadium (Leicester)
Leicester continues to go in the group of leaders - the team is in third place in the English Premier League standings, but lagging behind Liverpool is generally indecent. Klopp's team is 16 points ahead of the Foxes, with two matches in reserve. But this is not the worst thing - Manchester City came off by three points, which is much more important now. Recently, the team of Rogers has obviously stalled - the hosts lost two rounds in a row, to Burnley and Southampton, that is, the teams from the bottom of the standings. Now Leicester has to host West Ham, who has been playing well at the King Power Stadium recently. In the last five head-to-head matches in Leicester, the hosts managed to win only once. I think that the hosts may have difficulties in the upcoming match since the shape of Leicester raises big questions.

West Ham is currently ranked 16th in the Premier League standings. More recently, David Moyes returned to the coaching bridge. After his appointment, West Ham held three matches in which they managed to earn four points. The Hammers confidently beat Bournemouth, gained a draw with Everton and lost to Sheffield away with a 0-1 score. It is worth noting that today's visitors lost with a difference of 2+ goals in only two of the last 11 meetings - this happened in matches with Wolverhampton and Arsenal. The Hammers met with the Foxes less than a month ago - then West Ham managed to impose a fight on its opponent but lost with a 1-2 score. I think that the Hammers are unlikely to lose with a big score in the upcoming match.
It seems to me that it is worth betting on the visitors. West Ham gained quite a good shape, in contrast to Leicester, who lost to the outsiders of the Premier League in the last two rounds. Even under Pellegrini, the Hammers managed to impose a fight on the Foxes, and now the away team looks much more powerful - old Moyes knows his job.
Prediction for the match: West Ham to win with +1.5 handicap
