Premier League preview and odds: Leicester City vs West Ham United

April 17 , 2016 13:30pm - King Power Stadium

Premier League

Leicester City will continue their fairy-tale quest for league supremacy when they welcome European hopefuls West Ham United to the King Power Stadium on Sunday.

Leicester City on the brink

Leicester City are just five games away from cementing their place in English football history. The East Midlands club have a seven-point lead over second-ranked Spurs and look all set to be named Premier League champions. However, defeat this weekend could break the momentum that Claudio Ranieri`s men have built up in recent weeks, and hand a lifeline to their rivals from London.

The Foxes are unbeaten at home since September and have kept seven clean sheets in their last eight home games. In fact, West Brom are the only away side to have scored a league goal at the King Power Stadium in 2016.

West Ham looking to finish season on a high

By their usual standards, West Ham United have already over-achieved this season - however, with five games still left to play they still have a chance of grabbing a European qualification place.

The Hammers have lost just two of their last nine away matches in the league and are unbeaten in their last three. They have scored 11 goals in their last six games on the road.

Team news

Leicester City have a full strength squad to choose from, while the visitors will be without the injured Carl Jenkinson.
