Lewis Jones predicts West Ham United clash v Leicester
Lewis Jones has backed West Ham United to pick up another win in their Premier League clash with Leicester on Monday.
The Sky Sports guru has predicted that it will finish 2-1 to the Irons, continuing their 100% start to the season.
Jones admitted that David Moyes has a hold over Brendan Rodgers, having completed the double last season.
Writing on his Sky Sports predictions blog, Jones has urged anyone with plans on Monday to cancel them to watch this.
“Any plans Monday night? Cancel them,” he wrote. “This should be an encounter well worth watching.
“David Moyes seems to have a bit of a hold over Brendan Rodgers. The Hammers boss knows how to stop a Rodgers team.
“I expect exactly the same here with West Ham showing last weekend at Newcastle that when it comes to counter-attacking, not many teams execute it as savagely as them.”
Record-breaker.
All eyes will be on Michail Antonio.
The striker is one away from becoming our all-time top goalscorer in the Premier League, after joining level with Paulo Di Canio last week.
He will know that it should have been done against Newcastle, with his one goal easily should have been turned into a hat-trick.
The chance will come again though, and you would be foolish to bet against him to do it on Monday evening against the Foxes.
Both clubs will once again be pushing the top-six for European football, and this will be the first chance they get to get ahead of one another.
Expect fireworks, come on you, Irons.
