West Ham visits Leicester City at King Power Stadium in the Premier League. The match result sets a real answer about the future of David Moyes in his managerial career.

For every Hammer who’s reading, I must say that Saturday is a real test for David Moyes. Especially because West Ham are only three points above the relegation zone. For everyone who criticized him six months ago, the situation has become worse than what it was.

The last test for Moyes

Since Moyes became West Ham’s boss, the club from East London suffered 12 losses, 9 draws and 7 wins. Which is very worrying stat that the manager has more losses than victories at his prestigious (or not) curriculum.

The good news and everybody knows. It is the Scot who’s brought out the best in Arnautovic and since shined alongside guys like, João Mario and the Lanzini. However, he insists on playing Koyaté in the starting 11.

They are margins off from playing good football and do not have an immeasurable defence. I do not blame Declan Rice for his own goal against Manchester City last week; he is young and will have time to develop as a player. However, Creswell who scored a superb goal showed his weaknesses, this past Sunday and was one of the essential reason for the Citizens notching five goals against them.

A win against Leicester is crucial

The game could serve as a nightmare for the Hammers, or as a signal of resurrection. It isn’t easy to predict the Irons’ future, especially because they do not have a board with good knowledge and ambitious to find a good coach in European football. As well as  bargain for good players in South America, the MLS or even another league less prestigious than the Premier League.

In saying this, the game against Leicester sound like a final test for David Moyes who has not shown some fear about the possibility to lose once more and get relegated, as it happened last season when he was managing Sunderland.

The game will let us know if he still is capable of succeeding with an English club who is not playing in the championship.
