West Ham vs Leicester Bet Builder Tip

Over 2.5 Goals

The recent meetings between these two sides have produced goals. The last five have all gone over 2.5 goals, with both teams scoring in eight of the last nine meetings. West Ham scored four at Newcastle last weekend and it would be no surprise to see them get in the scoresheet again tonight. Leicester are always capable of goals with Jamie Vardy up front so over 2.5 goals looks a good bet.

Michail Antonio to Score Anytime

The striker ended last season on a high and started this campaign in the same way with a goal. He did miss a penalty in that match but should keep penalty duties as well. We are expecting West Ham to score here and Antonio will be the obvious danger to the Leicester goal.

Harvey Barnes to Score Anytime

After a bad injury last season, Barnes looks back to full fitness and he had a shot on target against Wolves last weekend. He does get into goalscoring positions and there have been high scoring matches between these two so Leicester are likely to cause trouble for West Ham once again.

Tomas Soucek To Be Booked

The Czech midfielder was booked seven times last season and tonight he will be up against the likes of James Maddison and Youri Tielemans. These are players that like to run with the ball and if the West Ham midfield is bypassed they will be in big trouble. Soucek will be tasked with breaking up play and looks set to be involved in a few fouls tonight.
