The 2016 Premier League champions are in an extremely difficult situation because even a win might not be enough to escape the bottom three. Everton is currently the first team to survive and they hold a two-point advantage over Leicester ahead of a home game against Bournemouth, who has nothing left to play for and it’s also reflected in their results as the Cherries have lost three games on the bounce.

Leicester’s position would be a lot better if they only had one more win. However, unfortunately for the team, they have lacked quality at both ends of the pitch throughout the campaign and enter the final round of action boasting just one victory from their last 15 league outings. Additionally, Monday’s 0-0 draw with Newcastle marks Leicester’s first clean sheet since the World Cup break.

At home, Leicester has been without a clean sheet since October. If you can’t keep the opposition from scoring then it’s always going to be hard for you to win football matches, especially with a struggling front-line.

Leicester has scored the 11th-most goals in the league, but they have been shut out on 11 occasions and six of the times have come during the side’s current miserable 15-game run. With just one more game left, Jamie Vardy is on track to finish the league campaign with only three goals, and 22 of the team’s 49 goals have come from two players – Harvey Barnes and James Maddison.

West Ham has had a tough league campaign as well, but the Hammers have found form over the last few matchdays and can even look forward to a European final after securing a date with Fiorentina in the Europa Conference League.

David Moyes’ men likely won’t have a lot of motivation to perform on Sunday, but surely they won’t want to take a beating ahead of their big European night and some players could be looking to impress to earn a spot in the June 7 final.
