Leicester City and West Ham United will face each other in the Premier League this weekend.

Former Aston Villa and Everton striker Andy Gray has predicted on Paddypower.com that Leicester City will fail to win against West Ham United this weekend.

Leicester will take on West Ham at the King Power Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon, and Gray has predicted the match to finish 2-2.

“Can they finish off the fairytale?” the former Scotland international wrote on Paddypower.com. “Yes but it won’t be without a bit of a fight. Jamie Vardy’s scoring again after going six without a goal and we saw how much it meant to the players at the final whistle last Sunday.

“West Ham will have been disappointed with the midweek FA Cup defeat to Man United and Slaven Bilic will want a response. They’ve only lost three of their last 20 matches. They’ve a great chance of finishing in the top 6 but cannot afford to slip.

“There’s going to be plenty of goals in a really exciting game. Andy Carroll is always a danger as is Vardy for your first goalscorer bets.”

A footnote added: “Andy’s bet: Leicester 2-2 West Ham at 13/1.”

Leicester are going strong in the Premier League at the moment and are currently seven points clear at the top of the table.

Playing at home is going to give the Foxes an advantage, and Claudio Ranieri’s side will head into the match against West Ham as favourites.

The Hammers’ recent results have been disappointing, but their performances have not been bad.

Slaven Bilic’s side still have a chance of finishing in the top four of the Premier League, and they are going to make it tough for Leicester.

A win for West Ham looks unlikely, but the London outfit do have the quality to pick up a point at the King Power Stadium.
