It's early days in the Premier League and both Leicester City and West Ham United are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Leicester City form and stats
The hosts won their first Premier League game here at King Power Stadium, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Leicester City last season were 11 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses from 19 games.
Happy days for Leicester in their previous game, a Premier League match away at Manchester City (placed 13th) that ended with a 5-2 victory. Sensational by Leicester last match, beating Manchester City away as big underdogs. Preceding that match was a Carabao Cup defeat to Arsenal (0-2).
A goal frenzy last time out for Leicester, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Manchester City. Fun stuff to watch! Jamie Vardy was absolutely essential when Leicester beat Manchester City 5-2, scoring three goals.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Leicester matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, zero draws and two defeats (from three games).
At King Power Stadium, Leicester City has the goal stats of 4-2 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
West Ham United form and stats
West Ham United have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Premier League were 4 victories, 5 draws and 10 defeats from 19 fixtures.
Ham are travelling after their nice 4-0 home win in the Premier League against Wolverhampton Wanderers (placed 16th). That result followed a home victory 5-1 versus Hull City in the Carabao Cup.
As you can tell from the results above, Ham was very dominant against Wolverhampton Wanderers, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with Jarrod Bowen (2) and Sébastien Haller providing the goals.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, West Ham United has managed 1 goal and let in 2 from 1 match.
