Leicester vs West Ham: Prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results, odds today

Ruud van Nistelrooy takes his place in the Leicester City dugout for the first time tonight as they host West Ham United in the Premier League.

The former Manchester United interim coach was appointed as Steve Cooper’s successor last week but watched on from the stands as his new club were comfortably beaten 4-1 away at Brentford at the weekend.

However, with Wolves and Ipswich Town both also losing, the Foxes remain above the relegation zone by a point but they could drop a couple of places if results in this midweek round of fixtures go against them.

As for the Hammers, they lost 5-2 to Arsenal on Saturday evening, a result that came on the back of an impressive 2-0 win over Newcastle United at St James’ Park.

Under pressure West Ham boss Julen Lopetegui wasn't on the touchline at the London Stadium as he served a one-match suspension as a result of accumulating three yellow cards this season.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Leicester City vs West Ham is scheduled for a 8.15pm GMT kick-off time tonight, Tuesday, December 3, 2024.

The King Power Stadium will host.

Leicester vs West Ham prediction

Van Nistelrooy will be hoping the ‘new manager bounce’ will be in full effect on Tuesday night as he takes charge of his first game, with his new squad desperate to make an impression at home and under the lights.

Both teams have struggled with shipping goals all season, and Julen Lopetegui will know a defeat could well spell the end of his tenure. Both defences will play a key role.

Leicester to win, 1-0.
