West Ham United and Leicester City have both made indifferent starts to the new Premier League starts.

Robbie Savage has backed Leicester City to finish ahead of West Ham United this season.

Leicester and West Ham have both failed to carry their form from last term into the new campaign, and have not started brilliantly.

The Foxes have won just one of their first four matches – as they look to defend their Premier League title – while West Ham are stationed in 17th place, as things stand.

It leaves both teams with a lot of improvements to make, and Savage is backing Leicester to make them more quickly than West Ham.

Leicester were considered huge outsiders to be able to protect their Premier League title this term, but their latest defeat against Liverpool was slightly concerning.

The Reds dominated the contest, leaving questions being asked of Claudio Ranieri’s side.

West Ham, meanwhile, have made a dire opening to the new campaign – and threw away a 2-0 lead to lose to Watford in their last outing.

West Ham’s next Premier League fixture comes against West Bromwich Albion, while Leicester take on Burnley.
