“Too soon” | Team News | West Ham vs Leicester City | OneFootball

West Ham take on Leicester City tonight as we look to kick on from the win over Arsenal at the weekend.

The victory in north London was a welcome boost for all connected with the club, especially as it once again all-but ended the Gunners dreams of winning the Premier League title this season.

Leicester tonight though presents a different hurdle for Graham Potter to overcome, with the Foxes desperately needing points, however a defensive approach from the visitors is expected.

Reporting on The West Ham Way, club insider ExWHUEmployee advised on the team news ahead of the game later.

“Ollie Scarles looks set to keep his spot in the side at the expense of Emerson after an impressive first start in the Premier League,” stated Ex.

“The game comes too soon for Coufal or Paqueta to return to, although they could make the next game, as the manager stated in his press conference.

“Whilst ahead of schedule Fullkrug has a couple of weeks to get up to match fitness and we may see Antonio and Summerville towards the end of the season.”

The visitors Leicester will be without Abdul Fatawu and Ricardo Pereira for the match later tonight, however James Justin is understood to be back in contention.

Tonight’s match kicks off at 8pm and is being shown live on TNT Sports.
