Leicester City host West Ham at the King Power Stadium on Saturday, December 31. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
This New Year’s Eve match up is shaping up as a crucial match up for the hosts in their battle to stay clear of the relegation zone. Following their feel-good story of the year, the current Premier League champions are experiencing a fall from grace on the domestic front and will need all three points against visiting West Ham, who have distanced themselves from the relegation pack lately.
Leicester City has only won of their last nine Premier League games and are just three points above the relegation zone.
Claudio Ranieri will be able to count on the full services of Riyad Mahrez, after the Algerian came on as a substitute in the Foxes last game. Ranieri has done some tinkering with the lineup in search of the winning formula, as well as to allow enough recovery time for key players on the squad, as Leicester have battled on both the domestic and European front without a very deep roster.
On the other side, the Hammers coach Slaven Bilic is off the hot seat as his team has won three straight games and has steered clear of relegation. The Argentinian playmaker Manuel Lanzini is set to return after a rib injury. West Ham continue to be without Diafra Sakho and Arvalo Arbeloa, both out with long term injuries.
