Leicester City vs West Ham Match Preview, Premier League 2024-25

Leicester’s 4-1 defeat to Brentford marked their third consecutive loss, leaving their defense exposed and their fans frustrated. Now under new management, Van Nistelrooy will aim to rejuvenate the Foxes, prioritizing a shaky backline that has conceded three or more goals in four of their last six matches. Despite their struggles, Leicester have found the net in all their home games this season, offering hope of a more dynamic display under the Dutchman’s leadership.

Meanwhile, West Ham were torn apart by Arsenal in a 5-2 demolition that highlighted their defensive frailties. Julen Lopetegui’s men, sitting 14th, are desperate to bounce back. With Lopetegui’s future under scrutiny, the Hammers must find inspiration to avoid slipping further into the danger zone.

Leicester News

Ruud van Nistelrooy faces a challenging start with a depleted squad. Caleb Okoli is doubtful after a collision with goalkeeper Mads Hermansen against Brentford, while Abdul Fatawu (ACL), Harry Winks (groin), Ricardo Pereira (thigh), and Jakub Stolarczyk (ankle) remain sidelined. Van Nistelrooy is expected to revert to a four-man defense, likely handing Jannik Vestergaard a start.

West Ham Lineup

Areola; Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Emerson; Alvarez; Bowen, Soler, Paqueta, Kudus; Antonio

West Ham News

For West Ham, the return of Mohammed Kudus from suspension is a significant boost. The Ghanaian playmaker is set to rejoin the starting XI, potentially replacing Crysencio Summerville. Niclas Fullkrug remains a doubt with a calf injury, while Dinos Mavropanos could miss out due to illness. Lopetegui’s men will rely on Kudus and their creative midfield to rediscover their attacking edge.

Who will win today’s PL fixture between Leicester City and West Ham United?

Leicester may benefit from the “new manager bounce,” but their defensive woes won’t disappear overnight. Similarly, West Ham’s backline remains vulnerable despite Kudus’s attacking boost.
