Leicester take on the visitors West Ham in the round 14 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Tuesday, November 3rd at King Power Stadium (Leicester).
Leicester City, a club with ambitions shaped by their fairytale Premier League triumph under Claudio Ranieri, has faced turbulent times. Even during Brendan Rodgers' tenure, the club enjoyed moments of success, but their unexpected relegation in 2023 marked a low point. Enzo Maresca successfully guided the Foxes back to the Premier League by winning the Championship convincingly, but he was lured away to Chelsea during the offseason. Steve Cooper was brought in but lasted only until late November after a poor run of form that included an EFL Cup exit and just one point from four Premier League games. His replacement, Ruud van Nistelrooy, was appointed over the weekend. His managerial debut was far from ideal, as Leicester suffered a heavy 1-4 defeat to Brentford, exposing the challenges he faces to stabilize the team.

West Ham are disappointing form despite big expectations. West Ham United, under David Moyes, delivered significant success, winning the UEFA Conference League in 2023 and finishing 9th in the Premier League last season. However, the appointment of Julen Lopetegui, expected to elevate the Hammers further, has yet to yield consistent results. Despite a bolstered squad in the summer, the team has underperformed in domestic competitions. A 1-5 loss to Liverpool in the EFL Cup and several Premier League defeats have frustrated fans. However, the Hammers showed promise in their 2-0 victory against Newcastle following the international break. Unfortunately, this momentum was short-lived, as they suffered a crushing 2-5 defeat to Arsenal in their subsequent London derby.
Leicester City is unbeaten in their last three matches against West Ham. In their previous Premier League encounter two seasons ago, Leicester managed to win both games, though it wasn't enough to avoid relegation to the Championship. West Ham's superior squad quality and recent victory against Newcastle suggest they have the edge. However, Leicester’s historical resilience against the Hammers adds an element of unpredictability. Given West Ham’s stronger squad and Leicester’s managerial instability, the visitors are likely to capitalize on this matchup.
Prediction for the match: West Ham to win with 0.0 handicap.
