Leicester City travel to the London Stadium to face a West Ham side that is currently in transition under new manager David Moyes, but what can the Foxes expect?

Both sides will see this game as a winnable one and will be aiming for all three points to start the hectic winter period in the Premier League.

Under Moyes, West Ham will be different to what they were under previous manager Slaven Bilic, but how will they threaten Leicester?

What to expect?

Historically, Moyes’ teams have been difficult to break down defensively, remained organised and had enough about them to trouble the opposition going forward.

The Scot may have lost his way a bit since leaving Everton, but he will set up the Hammers the only way he knows how.

At Manchester United, Moyes didn’t win enough to keep the fans on his side. Since his Old Trafford departure, a poor spell in charge of Real Sociedad ensued before he joined the dumpster fire that was Sunderland.

This West Ham United side has the most talented players Moyes has been in charge of since United, but have fairly low expectations – this season anyway. He could be primed for quite the redemption story.
