Leicester City v West Ham United: match preview

Five games to go. Leicester can afford to slip up in two of them and still win their first title but on current form it looks like they might secure the trophy with time to spare. Victory against West Ham, likely still hurting from their FA Cup exit to Manchester United in midweek, would see Claudio Ranieri’s team 10 points clear of Tottenham before the Londoners play Stoke on Monday. This fixture last season was the moment Leicester started their recovery, winning 2-1. Alan Smith
