Leicester City is stumbling badly and edging closer to the Premier League relegation zone. After a decent start to the season, they’ve managed to pick up just one point from their last five games, leaving them only a single point clear of the bottom three. With 27 goals conceded, they now have the second-worst defense in the league, adding to their troubles. The battle to avoid relegation looks set to involve Leicester, Ipswich, Everton, Southampton, and a few other struggling teams near the bottom.

West Ham, meanwhile, was involved in one of the wildest games of the season, suffering a 5-2 home defeat to Arsenal. The London club is also in a worrying slump, moving closer to the danger zone. Interestingly, they’ve been more consistent away from home than at the London Stadium. In their last outing, they secured a vital 2-0 win against Newcastle at St. James' Park.

Leicester City vs West Ham pick: OVER 2.5 GOALS

The "Foxes" conceded four goals in their last away match at Brentford. Defensive issues continue to plague the team, making it difficult for them to cope with West Ham, who prefer an attacking style of play without much caution. However, the London side also struggles defensively, just like their opponents.

This suggests that this match has the potential to be one of the more high-scoring games of the round, with at least three goals expected in total.
