Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Sunday’s football game at Olympic Stadium in London pits together West Ham United and Leicester City, the two teams who sit in the Champions League berth ahead of Matchday 31. The Hammers continue to impress in the 2020/21 season, with the team beating Wolverhampton 3-2 on the road, but it has to be noted that important attacker Antonio suffered a muscle injury. The 31-year-old, though, should recover in time to face the Foxes.
Leicester City, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Manchester City. Brendan Rodgers’ men are five points clear of fifth-place Chelsea, and, no doubt, they would be happy with one point from Sunday’s clash. Both Justin and Barnes remain sidelined with injuries, while Soyuncu is a major doubt. It has to be noted that 15 goals in total have been netted in the previous four meetings between the two sides.
Highlighted Player (Issa Diop):
After spending two years at Balma SC, Issa Diop joined Toulouse football academy in 2006 and he was making progress year by year. The 194-cm-tall defender made seven appearances for Toulouse B in the 2014/2015 season and he made his Ligue 1 debut with les Pitchouns on November 28, 2015 against Nice.
Issa Diop, who was born in Toulouse on January 9, 1997, scored his first ever goal in the French top flight in a 3-0 win over Troyes in December, 2015. Diop is a youth international for France at various levels, but seeing that his father Labysse Diop is of Senegal descent, the Toulouse footballer could represent les Lions de la Teranga at senior level.
The Toulouse defender scored two goals for les Pitchouns in the 2016/2017 Ligue 1 campaign and he made no less than 30 appearances for the club in the process. Issa Diop has a contract with Toulouse which expires on June 30, 2020.
