Both of these teams finished just outside the top four places last season and pushed for Champions League football for much of the campaign. In their last meeting at the London Stadium, Jesse Lingard scored twice in a dramatic 3-2 win for the hosts, in what was a pivotal match in the top four race.
Leicester eventually finished fifth with West Ham a point behind in sixth place, with both teams qualifying for the Europa League. Challenging for the European places remains a key focus for both sides this campaign.

Prediction
West Ham were involved in plenty of high-scoring games last season, and that trend continued in their opening match at Newcastle. The Hammers have found their flow under Moyes as a counter attacking side and could look to hit Leicester on the break. Brendan Rodgers’ side usually have a good defensive record but conceded six goals against West Ham last season. Newcastle showed last weekend that there are gaps in West Ham’s defence to exploit, however, and Jamie Vardy is sure to have a chance or two, in what could be another high-scoring and entertaining encounter.
