Leicester City boss knows exactly what he’s facing from the Hammers today and appears to be a huge admirer of us and David Moyes in particular.
After defeat at the London Stadium early in the season when his team were forced to play with 10 men for a long period he clearly wants some revenge but knows how tough that’s going to be.
He reckons the Hammers have top players all over the pitch and is a big admirer of David Moyes although he is hoping that an improved performance from his team in a 2-0 defeat by Liverpool last week will help confidence and performance.
Rodgers was full of praise for the Hammers though who will hold onto fourth place whatever the outcome against a team against whom they have a very good recent record having won their last three games.
He has been discussing the game on the City website and said: “We had a tough night there earlier on in the season when we lost a man early on and they played well. They’ve got some really good players. However, we come off the back of a much better performance, if not the result.
Now we’ve got the supporters behind us at the weekend and hopefully they’ll push us on to get a good performance and result. You could see the supporters at the end [at Liverpool]. They appreciated the fight to come to a really, really top team and run Liverpool close right the way through.
It’s always great to play at home. I enjoy away games as well. We’ve played in two really good stadiums at Forest and Anfield, but we love playing at home.
They’ve got other guys, like [Jarrod] Bowen, who have come in and done fantastically. Michail Antonio as well. These are guys that can give you a problem. They’ve consistently done very well. They’ve got real experience in the team and David’s done an excellent job.”
