Leicester striker Kelechi Iheanacho is expecting a tough test from David Moyes’ improved West Ham in the Premier League tonight (9.30pm).
Since the Foxes' December’s 2-1 success at London Stadium, Moyes has been appointed manager of the Hammers, and Iheanacho believes they have already shown an improvement under the Scotsman.
The Nigerian ace says: “In the Premier League, when there is a change of manager, you will see a difference from the previous one.
“It’s always going to be difficult with a team that changes their manager.
“I think it’s going to be a tough one for us, but they are working, and they will put their preparations in place.
“We are looking forward to the task, we want to give them a good game.
“It’s always going to be a difficult one. No game is easy in the Premier League, so every game is hard. It’s going to be a tough one because they have become stronger, there’s something that has sparked them at the moment because of the way they are playing now.”
Meanwhile, Hammers rightback Pablo Zabaleta believes his team still have a lot to improve on.

The Argentinian veteran says: “We have to be clinical because all the games we’ve won home or away are because we’ve been like that: relentless in front of goal.
“It gives us a chance to win football matches.
“Hopefully we can improve on that and, of course, defensively we’ve improved in the last few games.
“We need to try and not concede goals; keeping clean sheets is important for our team.”
