Leicester host West Ham knowing that they need to win to have any hope of staying in the Premier League. The Foxes are two points behind Everton as the season’s last day approaches, and they are only ahead of Leeds United on goal differential. Due to their better goal differential, Dean Smith’s team will be safe if the Toffees lose, but anything less than victory would see the 2016 English champions sent to the Championship. While West Ham will undoubtedly be focused on their Europa Conference League final on 7 June, this will at least be a sufficient match to stay in shape.
Leicester team news
Caglar Soyuncu, who is headed to Atletico Madrid, has likely played his final game for Leicester, according to Dean Smith, who also stated that he is still injured. After recovering from an ankle injury, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is available once more. Ricardo Pereira, Jonny Evans, and Kelechi Iheanacho will all be game-ready. Given that he hasn’t trained since Monday’s draw against Newcastle, Wilfred Ndidi is in a race against time to make a comeback. It is not anticipated that Ryan Bertrand, Jannik Vestergaard, James Justin, or Danny Ward will appear.
West Ham team news
Nayef Aguerd is back to full health, according to David Moyes, although Emerson Palmieri has a knee problem. Gianluca Scamacca is anticipated to be ready for next season. Kurt Zouma might not be used right away in order to control his minutes, but he might be preferred over Angelo Ogbonna in order to keep his focus for the match against Fiorentina.
Leicester vs West Ham score prediction
Because of the calibre of their team, the general public has believed that Leicester will avoid being demoted during the entire season. It’s difficult to imagine them posing too many problems for a West Ham team that is coasting to a European final and riding that wave of happiness – they defeated Leeds with relative ease last week even after trailing. They have only managed one win in their last 15 Premier League games. I apologise to Foxes supporters, but it appears that you will be attending the Championship.
