Pundit delivers lethal Hammers verdict

|

Mark Lawrenson is tipping Leicester City for their first win since mid January despite what he desrcribes as “the vultures circling around Leicester boss Claude Puel.”

Giving his weekly predictions on how things are set to turn out in the PL he declared: “I am surprised about that because the Foxes should be doing better with what they have got – they should be up the table, challenging Burnley.

And while the manager is the one under pressure, it is the players who have under-achieved.

West Ham got turned over by Manchester City last week and Hammers boss David Moyes fell out with Andy Carroll when he went back to the dressing room during the game after being an unused substitute.

Moyes was quite right in my opinion, because that is an insult to your team-mates.

What sort of person does that – let alone Carroll, who is so injury prone that you might only get 15 starts out of him a season.”

Prediction: 2-1
