Yahoo Sports West Ham XI vs Leicester – Predicted lineup and team news
West Ham head to the Midlands to face Leicester City in the Premier League on Tuesday night.
Both teams will be aiming to improve upon recent performances, with each beaten heavily at the weekend. West Ham suffered a 5-2 defeat at home to Arsenal, as the Irons conceded five first-half goals at the London Stadium.
The defeat came immediately after an impressive win at Newcastle United and Julen Lopetegui will be frustrated with his side’s inconsistency this season. After significant spending in the summer, the Spaniard is under pressure to find the formula in East London.
A trip to a Leicester side who have conceded the second-most goals in the Premier League offers encouragement, though West Ham will beware of new-manager bounce. The Foxes have appointed Ruud van Nistelrooy as their new head coach this week.
