GTHC Predicts, Leicester at home

It was interesting to be at Vicarage Road to watch West Ham lose at Watford in David Moyes' first game in charge.

I spoke to Moyes afterwards and he admitted that the Hammers did not play well. He was right, but they still had better chances than Watford did. It was amazing they did not score at least one of them.

It was obvious to me that the West Ham players are very short on confidence.

Even a draw against Leicester would be something to build on and I think the most important thing for Moyes in his first home game in charge is that they do not lose.

The pace of Foxes striker Jamie Vardy will cause them problems, so I am expecting the Hammers to flood their midfield and make themselves difficult to break down.

Yes, they will need to create chances too in front of their own fans but, as we saw on Sunday, I don't think that will be a problem, and I don't think Moyes needs to worry about the reaction he will get from the supporters either.

Going by their chants and banners during the Watford game - and also from what the fans I spoke to afterwards had to say - they are unhappy with the board, not him.

As for Leicester, they were a little bit unlucky in their defeat against Manchester City last week because they should have been playing against 10 men for most of the game - Vincent Kompany should have been sent off after two minutes for a foul on Vardy.

That was Claude Puel's first defeat, in his third game in charge of Leicester, and the Foxes look exactly what they are, which is a side that are comfortable in mid-table.

Lawro's prediction: 1-1

Blimey, what a spiel! Dont think i have seen him write so much about a game with us involved before?

For varies reasons i cant watch this one :-( But seeing as each and every game i have sen this season we have lost, it may be a good omen!!!

The Sydders curse is off..................2-1 COYI
