Potentially the best game of Week 2 as top-four hopefuls West Ham United and Leicester City lock horns.

West Ham overcame conceding an early goal at Newcastle and a 2-1 halftime deficit to power to a 4-2 victory. Aaron Cresswell, Saïd Benrahma, Tomas Soucek and Michail Antonio each scored for the Hammers.

Leicester City put way Wolves 1-0 at King Power Stadium courtesy of Jamie Vardy’s 41st-minute goal.

West Ham had the wood on Leicester last season, winning 3-0 at King Power Stadium and 3-2 at home. Jarrod Bowen scored a goal for the Hammers in both victories

Verdict

West Ham v Leicester

The teams can barely be split head-to-head and backing them to share the spoils seems as good an option as any.
