Vs Leicester Predictions
The Hammers hosts the Foxes in the first Monday Night Football of the new Premier League season. Both teams are looking to make it two wins out of two and join Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham and Brighton with 100 per cent records.
West Ham twice came from behind to beat Newcastle last time out, while Leicester rode their luck at times in a 1-0 win over Wolves. A win for the Hammers, in front of the first capacity crowd at the London Stadium in 18 months, would lay down a marker against a team who finished one point above them last season and will again be looking to qualify for the Champions League.
Leicester are struggling with injuries, especially in defence, with new signing Jannik Vestergaard the latest to be ruled out after a training ground setback.
Vs Leicester City
West Ham extended their perfect start to the season as Michail Antonio became the club’s record Premier League goalscorer with a double in their 4-1 win against 10-man Leicester on Monday.
FC
West Ham have been winners of the FA Cup three times; in 1964, 1975 and 1980, and have also been runners-up twice; in 1923 and 2006. The club have reached two major European finals, winning the European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1965 and finishing runners-up in the same competition in 1976.
West Ham also won the Intertoto Cup in 1999. They are one of eight clubs never to have fallen below the second tier of English football, spending 63 of 95 league seasons in the top flight, up to and including the 2020-21 season. The club’s highest league position to date came in 1985–86, when they achieved third place in the then First Division.
