Saturday’s Premier League action concludes at the King Power Stadium where Leicester City take on West Ham United.

The Foxes go into the game on the back of back-to-back defeats, though a return to winning ways will see them move into the top half of the table at the expense of Manchester United, who face Everton on Sunday afternoon.

Demarai Gray is ready to return after a month on the sidelines though Jamie Vardy could miss the game due to a stomach complaint and captain Wes Morgan misses out as he serves the final game of his suspension.

Kelechi Iheanacho is priced at 7.5 (13/2) to get the first goal of the game with Bet Victor, with James Maddison available at the same price with the same firm.

The home win is widely available at 2.2 (6/5), with the visitors as highly priced as the 3.65 (45/17) on offer from Unibet. The draw can be backed at 3.5 (5/2) with a variety of firms.

Like their opponents, Manuel Pellegrini’s side have also lost their last two games with Brighton and Hove Albion and Tottenham Hotspur both needing just a single goal to emerge with the points.

The Hammers currently sit in fourteenth place though they could end the weekend in the bottom three if they lose and other results go against them.

Andriy Yarmalenko could miss the rest of the season after being ruled out long-term with an Achilles injury, with Andy Carroll, Pedro Obiang, Manuel Lanzini and Jack Wilshere also missing.

Marko Arnautovic is 6.5 (11/2) to open the scoring with Bet Victor, with Felipe Anderson a 12.0 (11/1) chance with Sky Bet.

Last season’s corresponding fixture ended in a 2-0 away win, almost six months after the sides played out a 1-1 draw at the London Stadium.

You can bet on there being two goals or fewer at 1.9 (9/10) with some firms while Betfred offer 1.8 (4/5) for both teams to score in the game.

Alternatively, there is a price of 1.83 (5/6) on offer for there to be a goal in both halves.
