Leicester City - West Ham United: Firm Foxes Hamper Hammers

On Sunday, Leicester City host West Ham United at King Power Stadium.

Leicester City

The Foxes finished in 5th place last season, displaying a solid defensive record conceding on average 0.89 goals per game at King Power Stadium.
Brendan Rodgers can call on basically the same defensive unit as last season. Leicester lost defender Ben Chilwell to Chelsea but replaced him with Timothy Castagne from Atalanta, looking like a really smart catch so far this season.

The Irons finished in 16th place last season, displaying a rather lacklustre attack scoring on average 1.00 goals per game on the road.
David Moyes command pretty much the same squad as last season. West Ham did score 4 goals at home to Wolverhampton last week but I'm not reading too much into that as of now; Wolves really looked like hitting the low-water mark of the season in that game.
