Ahead of the match, Neville, who worked with the former Sunderland boss at Manchester United and Everton, believes that the atmosphere inside the London Stadium is a worry.

Meanwhile, Arsenal legend Martin Keown has urged the West Ham fans to get behind the team against Leicester.

“What he will also need in his first game back is wholehearted support from the fans,” Keown wrote in The Daily Mail.

“At every club they are the experts, they pay good money and they have a voice, but they need to get behind the team. It only helps the opposition if they don’t.”

A win for West Ham against Leicester will lift everyone at the London club.
