All the Leicester City news ahead of the West Ham visit

This article contains everything from the Leicester City camp. Including all news headlines following Claude Puel’s press conference for the Premier League match versus West Ham United:

Fortunes of Leicester City and West Ham United are incredibly similar of late. Just as the Foxes seemed to gather momentum, they suffered two defeats. While, the Hammers enjoyed a resurrection of results, until they lost disappointingly to Brighton Hove Albion. Followed by narrow defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur.

Leicester sit in 11th position in the Premier League table. With West Ham a below par 14th. Both sides expect a higher finish; bigger things were certainly expected of Manuel Pellegrini’s team. National journalists raved about their summer signings – only to see the East London club drift into the relegation space. However, the Chilean will keep them in the division, at a minimum.

One draw and a win each are the previous three league outcomes between the pair. Claude Puel will indeed be under pressure – from fans if not owners – if the Foxes do not take all three points.

Press conference details

During Thursday’s Leicester City presser for the upcoming game, Puel gave plenty of news on the condition of the squad: training, injuries. Including the likely starting line-up.

Jamie Vardy will possibly miss the match due to a stomach bug; causing the striker to leave the Emirates while the match was ending. Demarai Gray is set to be available for selection, since an ankle injury kept him sidelined.

Discussing the 3-4-1-2 formation used at Arsenal, the Frenchman said it is good to have multiple systems; though, he proposed no indication of Saturday’s layout. Wes Morgan is still an absentee through suspension – Jonny Evans will deputize once again. Many of the Blue Army believe, correctly, that Morgan should not be reinstated upon his availability.

Champions League football was another topic during the media session. Consequently, Puel stated his love as well as apparent longing to feature again in the greatest European club competition. He explained how the East Midlands club must aim at qualification.

The gaffer said he enjoyed his first year at Leicester City; going on to say there is much work still be done. Focusing on their latest premiership opposition: the 57-year-old rates Marko Arnautovic highly. Whilst knowing Pellegrini’s team like to control games, working non-stop to achieve it.
