Wilfred Ndidi's Leicester City were thumped 4-0 in their own Matchweek 26 game, at home to Brentford, meaning Ruud van Nistelrooy's team are winless in their last three league games. They will travel to face West Ham in search of much-needed redemption.
The odds of that run being halted in East London against West Ham is rather low, but Leicester would draw some confidence from the fact that their last trip to the capital — as guests of Tottenham Hotspur — resulted in their only league win since early December.
Should Leicester be able to repeat that feat, as improbable as it seems, it would — depending on how Ipswich Town's game at Old Trafford a day earlier goes — take them out of the relegation zone and give the Foxes a much-needed boost in a fight that is starting to look futile.

Correct score prediction
Leicester City are enduring a difficult season, languishing in 19th place with just 17 points from 26 games.
The Foxes have secured only four victories, accompanied by five draws and a concerning 17 losses, underlining their struggles. A goal difference of 25:59 further reflects their frailties in both attack and defence.
Their away performances have been equally underwhelming, managing just two wins, two draws, and eight defeats on the road.
West Ham, meanwhile, have had a mixed campaign, registering seven wins, six draws, and 12 defeats, with a goal difference of 29:47. Their home form has been a particular concern, as they have managed just four victories, two draws, and seven losses at the London Stadium.

Prediction: West Ham 1: 0 Leicester City
Ndidi hoping for a stronger display against West Ham
Wilfred Ndidi's Leicester, needless to say, did not have the best of days when Brentford visited, and it was a personally chastening afternoon for the Super Eagles midfielder.
He was largely ineffective against the swarming tide of the buzzing Bees, getting replaced after 77 minutes by Oliver Skipp as Leicester tried to narrow the deficit, or at least not let it get any wider.

It is almost certain Ndidi starts against West Ham — despite the miserable season the East Midlanders are having, he remains, as one of the first names on the team-sheet, a constant feature when fit — and would be looking to engineer better fortunes for himself and for his team in this mid-week clash.
