Following their respective victories on the opening matchday of the 2021-22 League season, West Ham will look to continue their form when they take on Leicester City. The match schedules for Monday at the London Stadium with kickoff at 10 pm.
David Moye’s claimed a triumphant 4-2 win over Newcastle United on the opening weekend, while the Foxes scrapped off a 1-0 win over Wolves.
The Hammers might not have enough to sustain them for a Champions League spot, but there is a lot more hope this term. Furthermore, David Moyes is currently experiencing top form with Antonio, Declan Rice, Sai Benharhma and Thomas Soucek all in form.
The win last weekend sees them in a top-four place even though it is too early in the season. The main task is to focus on their Europa League exploits while going for a top-four race this season.
The opening of the London Stadium comes at the right time for avid Moyes. Furthermore, David Moyes suffered three successive defeats in their first home game of the season.
On the other hand, Jamie Vardy shows his importance to Brendan Rodgers even with the rise of Kelechi Iheneacho and Patson Daka. The 34-year-old showed his prowess by netting the only goal on the opening day. A Community Shield win over Manchester City was a major boost.
