Leicester City and West Ham United will collide this weekend on the final day of the Premier League season.
Leicester Form GuideLeicester City are one game away from the Championship. They have been unable to get out of first gear on a consistent basis this season and it’s cost them in a big way, as they not only need to win on Sunday, but they need other results to go their way. The Foxes are just seven years removed from winning the title, and to think they could be heading back to the second tier is bizarre.
After earning a point against both Leeds and Everton, Leicester came crashing back down to earth with a 5-3 loss to Fulham and a 3-0 defeat at home to Liverpool. Then, on Monday Night Football, they fought hard but could only manage a 0-0 draw against Newcastle.
West Ham Form GuideWest Ham United are safe for another year and David Moyes can breathe a big sigh of relief because of that. Of course, there’s a whole lot more to the story than that, with the Hammers also gearing up for the Conference League final. If they’re able to take home a piece of European silverware, it’ll serve as a real vindication of what has been a tough campaign.
Since beating Manchester United on May 7th, West Ham have only lost one game - a 2-0 defeat to Brentford. Aside from that they were able to beat AZ Alkmaar across two legs in their European semi-final, before also managing to defeat Leeds 3-1 at home.
Latest Team NewsSoyuncu, Ndidi, Bertrand, Dewsbury-Hall, Evans and Pereira are fitness concerns whereas Ward, Iheanacho, Justin and Vestergaard are all injured.
Aguerd and Downes are doubtful to appear with Scamacca being out of action due to an injury.
Match PredictionChaos awaits on the final day of the season and this is one of the games to keep an eye on. The hosts know that they need to put up a real fight if they want to survive, with West Ham’s priorities being elsewhere. We do think it’ll be entertaining, though, which is why we’re backing over 2.5 goals scored.
