We will play a very uninspiring line up, be dull as dish water and scrape a 1-0 win with a scrappy goal

Leicester will come flying out the blocks and take a lead in the first 10 mins, cue chaos in the stands.

Leicester get a 2nd, we pull one back and really go for the draw and get caught on the counter.

1-3

I said earlier, that the more pressure Moyes is under, the more risk averse he will get. He will do whatever he can not to lose this. A draw would probably save his job. A defeat with a WC break isn’t a good combination for him.

He’s beaten Leicester a ridiculous amount of times as West Ham manager. That’s the thing that is in his favour here.

As I will be coming over from the states for my first game since the final game at the BG, I’d like to see something like:

Kehrer—-Dawson——Zouma——-Cress
—— Paqueta——-Rice——Fornals——-
Bowen————————————--Benrahma
————————Scamacca————————-

but think we will actually see something like:

Coufal—Kehrer—-Dawson—-Zouma—Cresswell
——————Soucek——-Rice——Downes—————-
————————————Bowen——————————-
———————————Scamacca—————————

But will see Soucek next to rice and Downes, with Bowen or Paqueta behind Scamacca

I think Moyes should go all out defence for this one. 5 at the back 3 holding midfielders. Don't attack unless we are losing with 20 minutes to go.

Praise da lord - the end of football until Boxing day.

Hopefully it will be snowing heavily or something then so that they can wait until January to restart.

Time for everyone to step up, stand up and be counted. Moyes needs to get his team selection and tactics right, and our captain needs to lead the troops on the field. Probably 0-0 borefest then....

I'm very worried about this one - Moyes will start very cautiously, we will play defensively, not cross the halfway line in the first ten minutes - pass across the back four. Cresswell will advance up the left, then pass back to the defence. If Leicester manage to score in the first 15 minutes, the atmosphere at LS will become poisonous.

We won't be in the relegation positions through the long World Cup break (unless Soton win at Anfield), but without a win on Saturday we could be in 17th - the table will be depressing reading until we go to the Emirates on Boxing Day (and I don't hold up much hope for that one either).

1-3 Leicester. Maddison to run the show after being left out by divvy Southgate.

Finish our dinner and we win the game. Same story all year with our **** finishing constantly costing us.

This feels pivotal, I wouldn’t have said the manager was in trouble had we not had a month break coming up but there will be tough decisions to be had if we lose this.

Some of the players Moyes has shown loyalty to should be rewarding him with a big performance. He’s stuck by them now they have to return the favour.

Unless things change, I can’t see any scenario beyond Leicester smothering our slow build up from the back and when we do get in advanced positions, hitting us on the break. Harvey Barnes will threaten whoever we play at RB.

I predict we will start slow, invite pressure, the crowd will get nervy and we'll concede a silly goal, going into the break 1-0 down.

All bets are off as to how the second half goes. The worse the first half is, the better the reaction hopefully.

Would like to see him change something, anything, to shake it up some bit:

Areola
Kehrer Zouma Aguerd Emerson
Rice Paqueta Fornals
Bowen Scamacca Benny
