WEST HAM – LEICESTER | Saturday 4pm
Both have fourteen points in the table. Both have started the season poorly and are looking for redemption to try and go into the break with a few less thoughts on their minds. West Ham and Leicester are probably the two teams that have disappointed the most so far, especially the hosts given that they started with a different objective, which was to raise the bar from the European qualification achieved last year. Well, perhaps because of the double commitment in the Conference League Moyes’ team has done everything but perform well in the Premier League. In short, redemption is needed in this last game of 2022 against a team that in any case appears to be on the upswing compared to what were the performances at the start of the season.
Leicester have won their last four games out of their last five. Only Manchester City – and with difficulty – managed to beat the Foxes. That is why West Ham’s commitment is very complicated. Very difficult we would say. And the feeling, in this case, is that the two teams can continue to stay at arm’s length at least until next January.

The Prediction
In a match that should result in at least one goal per team, it looks very difficult for either team to get the better of the other. Furthermore, in the last meeting, West Ham and Leicester drew. Well, the same thing could happen in the match that will close 2022 for both of them.

- WEST HAM (4-2-3-1): Fabianski; Kehrer, Dawson, Zouma, Cresswell; Rice, Soucek; Bowen, Paqueta, Benrahma; Scamacca.
- LEICESTER (4-4-2): Ward; Castagne, Evans, Faes, Thomas; Ndidi; Maddison, Tielemans, Dewsbury-Hall, Barnes; Daka.
