Seven years on from their against-all-odds Premier League title win, Leicester City are on the verge of relegation. Sat in 19th position, if they fail to beat West Ham they will be demoted to the Championship. In fact, even a win will not be enough to save them if the Everton vs Bournemouth game is a victory for the home team. Their job is simple, win this game and hope that the Toffees come unstuck.
However, winning has not come easy to Leicester this season. In fact, the Foxes have won just one of their last 15 matches. Their most recent result was a respectable point against Newcastle in a goalless stalemate. This was the team’s first clean sheet since the World Cup break, but it came at the cost of any form of attacking threat. Leicester essentially played defense for the entire game, and that’s not a strategy they can replicate against West Ham, as they must score in order to win.
Leicester will be comforted by the fact that for West Ham this game is significantly less important. The Hammers are safely nestled in midtable and have their eye on a European final. They will play Fiorentina in the Europa Conference League final on June 7, and manager David Moyes could opt to rest players against Leicester to avoid any injuries before that season-defining match next month.
Leicester have to find a way to win this match. If they can’t, the former-PL champions will return to the second tier of English football for the first time since 2015. The Leicester vs West Ham live stream is a high-stakes match for the Foxes, and you won’t want to miss it.
