📰 Team News: Leicester City

We are thinking that The Foxes will possibly go for a 4-2-3-1 formation featuring Daniel Iversen, Timothy Castagne, Wout Faes, Jonny Evans, Luke Thomas, Boubakary Soumare, K. Dewsbury-Hall, James Maddison, Youri Tielemans, Harvey Barnes and Kelechi Iheanacho.

📰 Team News: West Ham United

Owing to an otherwise available squad, there is only the one fitness worry for the West Ham United gaffer David Moyes to be concerned with. Gianluca Scamacca (Knee Injury) won’t be playing here.

It’s our belief that The Hammers could decide to play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup, settling for Lukasz Fabianski, Thilo Kehrer, Vladimir Coufal, Naif Aguerd, Aaron Cresswell, Flynn Downes, Declan Rice, Said Benrahma, Lucas Paqueta, Pablo Fornals and Michail Antonio.

🧠 Prediction

We believe that West Ham United will need things to go their way to register a score against this Leicester City side who will likely gain the upper hand.

We’re therefore seeing a good tussle with a 1-0 winning margin for Leicester City at the end of the 90 minutes.

Looking forward to this.
