West Ham face Leicester at London Stadium on Saturday, March 18. Here is all the info you need to watch.
Leicester’s cinderella story continued on Tuesday when they defeated Spanish side Sevilla 2-0 in Champions League. Leicester advanced to the quarterfinals of the competition for the first time ever.
On Saturday, the defending Premier League champions Leicester travel to London to play West Ham. The Hammers sit 11th in the Premier League table, just six points ahead of 15th-place Leicester. West Ham will try to take all three points off of a Leicester team that played their full squad on Tuesday.
Slaven Bilic’s team have struggled recently. West Ham have gone winless in their past four games, picking up just two of a possible 12 points. After signing for a club record in the summer, West Ham expected to get more from Andre Ayew. Last season Ayew, scored 12 goals for Swansea. After missing 11 games this season with a hamstring injury, Ayew has scored just three goals for West Ham in 15 games.
The decision to fire Claudio Ranieri has paid off for Leicester. Since Feb. 23, the Foxes have won three straight under new manager Craig Shakespeare. Under Shakespeare, Leicester have looked more like the team that won the Premier League a season ago. Striker Jamie Vardy has scored two goals in the three games under his new manager.

Leicester defeated West Ham on New Year’s Eve 1-0. If the Tigers can duplicate the first result, they will give themselves a little breathing room in the Premier League relegation battle. Shakespeare’s squad will be tested on Saturday after a midweek game. The Foxes have to overcome the fatigue from the win on Tuesday.
A win by West Ham changes very little for the mid-table team. West Ham are in no danger of being relegated but also have no chance of qualifying for Europe next year.
