Early Premier League leaders Leicester City hope to continue their impressive start to the season when they play host to side West Ham. The match schedules at the King Power Stadium with kickoff at 2 pm.
Both sides head into the match after coming off back to back wins in the Premier League last weekend. Both sides pulled off surprising wins, with Leicester thumping Manchester City and West Ham surprising Wolves.
This weekend, history could be made if the Foxes record a four-win in the league for their first time. Last weekend’s 5-2 win over Manchester City will play a massive role in boosting their confidence against the Hammers.
Early signs are currently showing Brendan Rodger’s side have enough to secure a top-four finish this season after missing out last season. James Vardy is taking the league by storm alongside England teammate Calvert Lewin with five goals.
West Ham picked their first points of the season after pulling off an impressive 4-0 shocking win over Wolves. The sides recorded Newcastle losses on an opening day, followed by an unsuccessful trip to the Emirates.
David Moyes recently tested positive for coronavirus and will be watching his side battle at home. Their win last weekend got short-lived following a 4-1 defeat to Everton in the EFL Cup midweek.
