Leicester City vs West Ham Match Analysis & Prediction
03/12/2024 11:15 pm
The Ruud van Nistlrooy era at the King Power Stadium begins on Tuesday night, when Leicester City host fellow bottom-half battlers West Ham United in the Premier League.
The Foxes were thrashed 4-1 by Brentford on Saturday, a couple of hours before Julen Lopetegui’s side were on the wrong end of a 5-2 scoreline against Arsenal.
Facundo Buonanotte’s fourth goal of the Premier League season briefly silenced the Brentford contingent at Gtech Community Stadium, but the Bees proved that their sting remains as potent as ever at their headquarters, where Kevin Scahde set up Yoane Wissa before registering his first-ever senior career hat-trick.
Saturday’s comprehensive defeat under the management of Ben Dawson represented a third straight loss for a leaky Leicester, who had previously been beaten by Chelsea and Van Nistelrooy’s Manchester United during the last weeks of Steve Cooper’s reign, dismal results that have contributed to their 16th-placed standing in the Premier League table.
Last season’s six-goal beating at the hands of Arsenal would ostensibly be the lowest London derby ebb that West Ham could suffer, bu the Irons were on course to suffer an even more humiliating beatdown on Saturday, when Mikel Arteta’s side hit four inside the opening 36 minutes.
Two quickfire strikes from full-back pair Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Emerson Palmieri ensured that West Ham would avoid that same 6-0 fate as they momentarily gave rise to an unbelievable comeback, which was immediately stopped in its tracks when Bukayo Saka converted Arsenal’s second penaty of the night.
Inspiration can be taken from West Ham’s last successful away day at Newcastle United, but Leicester did the double over West Ham during the 2022-23 campaign, following up a 2-0 away win with a 2-1 home victory before being relegated.

Leicester City Team News
Leicester’s defensive efforts on Saturday were not aided by an early injury to Caleb Okoli, who was involved in a collision with his own goalkeeper Mads Hermansen while trying to prevent Wissa from equalising for Brentford.

Crysencio Summerville was sacrificed at halftime in the Arsenal defeat and will likely make way for the eligible-again Mohammed Kudus, and there is still a slim chance that Niclas Fullkrug (calf) could be fit to face Leicester.
