West Ham United and Leicester City will face off at the London Stadium on Thursday, as the pressure appears to mount on Leicester City manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, who is under scrutiny. The West Ham United vs Leicester City game will kick off at 20:00 UK time.
With 27 points from 25 matches, West Ham United are in a dangerous situation, barely above the relegation zone. West Ham’s 1-0 away win against Arsenal FC in their most recent match may mark a turning point in the season. This victory put a stop to three straight losses and gave the team a much-needed boost of confidence.
Ever since he took over earlier this season, manager Graham Potter has been tremendously pressured to turn things around. Potter, who is well-known for his focus on possession-based football and tactical flexibility, has been trying to put his theory into practice while also fixing the defence that has been letting the club down. The English coach will be especially pleased with the shutout victory against Arsenal.
The Foxes are having a terrible season, as they are now in second-to-bottom position with 17 points after 26 matches. On the road, Leicester have struggled mightily, picking up only two victories, two draws, and eight losses. Their confidence took a further hit after their most recent game, a 4-0 home loss to Brentford FC.
It will be difficult for Leicester, whose manager Ruud van Nistelrooy was brought in to try to save the season, to remain in the Premier League. As a player, the Dutch superstar scored goals at will and now he must find a way to shore up his team’s defence and make them more dangerous offensively.
