West Ham vs Leicester City: TV channel, stream, kick-off time, odds & match preview image

David Moyes has a real job on his hands if he is to haul West Ham away from relegation trouble if his start to life in east London is anything to go by.

A disappointing performance in defeat at Watford in Moyes's debut has many fans concerned that dropping down to the Championship is a realistic worry.

Leicester, meanwhile, have shown improvements under Claude Puel since he replaced Craig Shakespeare, though they suffered defeat last time out to Premier League leaders Manchester City.

But who will come out on top when the two sides clash on Friday?

GAME PREVIEW


Aaron Cresswell Mark Noble West Ham

West Ham kick-off on Friday sat in the Premier League's relegation zone and facing up to a long, hard battle against the drop.

The arrivals of Joe Hart, Javier Hernandez and Pablo Zabaleta over the summer promised improved performances, but Slaven Bilic paid for failing to get the best out of an ageing squad.

David Moyes has now been tasked with the role of lifting them up the table, but having gone down with Sunderland last term, fans are not confident he is the right man to turn their fortunes around.

Leicester, meanwhile, struggled for consistency in the early weeks of the season, with spirited showings in defeat to the top six clubs interchanged with abject showings against the sides around them in the table.

But having picked up four points against Everton and Stoke City before defeat to Manchester City last time out, Claude Puel seems to have the team moving in the right direction.
