West Ham United Starting XI Prediction at Leicester City

West Ham United could be in “must win” territory already this season as the midweek fixture at Leicester City approaches.

At least it’s must win for the Irons if you want to keep Technical Director Tim Steidten, ok, maybe not so much him, but actually more likely, Owner David Sullivan, from sacking manager Julen Lopetegui.

So Lopetegui maybe, possibly, needs a win here to potentially save his job. Thus, he better go with the strongest side possible, and we think it looks like this.

This will be a challenge, no doubt, as the King Power Stadium will be buzzing for the debut of new manager Rudd van Nistelrooy.
