West Ham will be looking to take advantage of Leicester’s recent struggles when they travel to the King Power later on this afternoon.
The Foxes have not won any of their last four matches in all competitions, a run that includes a painful FA Cup defeat to Nottingham Forest, and they sit 12th in the Premier League table.
David Moyes’ side are in the top four as it stands, but those below them do have games in hands and West Ham can’t afford too many slip-ups between now and the end of the season. Manchester United slipped up yesterday, offering Moyes the chance to take advantage of his old side.
They haven’t been at their best since the winter break, edging past Kidderminster and then Watford, but they have done enough to pick up two wins.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Leicester vs West Ham is scheduled for a 4.30pm GMT kick-off on Sunday, February 13, 2022.

Leicester vs West Ham team news
Moyes has no plans to drop Kurt Zouma and says the defender is available despite the controversy over the video of him abusing his pet cat. Moyes was criticised for playing Zouma against Watford on Tuesday but is ready to stick by him again.
Arthur Masuaku remains out with a knee injury, while Angelo Ogbonna is a long-term absentee.
For Leicester, Youri Tielemans and Harvey Barnes could return to the starting lineup for the Foxes, after they were both on the bench at Anfield midweek.
However, Leicester will once again be without Jamie Vardy, Ryan Bertrand, Timothy Castagne, Jonny Evans and Wesley Fofana.
Leicester vs West Ham prediction
It’s tough to be confident about either side at the moment, with the Hammers far from convincing against Watford last time out and Leicester continuing to look extremely vulnerable at the back.
West Ham have not been at their free-flowing best in recent weeks, but should get some joy at the King Power in what could be an entertaining affair.
Draw, 2-2
