West Ham vs Leicester City
English Premier League
Date: Saturday, 18th March 2017
Kick off at 15:00 UK/ 16:00 CET
Venue: London Stadium.
The Hammers have stumbled recently, having not won in their last four. Bilic's men have lost their last two against Bournemouth and Chelsea as they appear destined for a season of mid-table purgatory.
The Foxes are resurgent following the sacking of Claudio Ranieri. They have won both of the Premier League fixtures 3-1 since Craig Shakespeare took over and appear to be putting the threat of relegation behind them.
In the reverse fixture on New Years Eve, Leicester squeaked past the Hammers 1-0 thanks to an early goal from Islam Slimani.
Marc Albrighton was the man of the match that day as he provided the assist for the goal and worked tirelessly down the wing to track Aaron Cresswell's marauding runs. The win was vital for Leicester as they moved away from relegation peril.
