West Ham boss David Moyes excited to host Leicester tonight

West Ham United boss David Moyes expects a big night on Monday hosting Leicester City.

In his match programme notes, Moyes wrote: "Leicester are a club who have continued to make steady progress since winning the Premier League in 2016 and their model is a really good one. We wish them another successful season – after tonight's match!

"Looking forward, the challenge for us is to find the equivalent of those extra two points which, last season, would have meant qualification for the Champions League. Leicester finished one point above us which is an indication of the size of the task which awaits us tonight.

"As a Club, we made the enormous jump of ten places last season which demonstrates the quality of the job done by the players. We have moved on though from our past achievements and now the aim is to find that extra percentage to keep us right up there.

"Another challenge for us is to play at a consistently high level. I felt we finished the 2020/21 season as strongly as anyone in the Premier League. We need to maintain that level now.

"We are all very excited about what lies ahead of us because we have the added ingredient of European football. That will mean extra games and more will be asked of our squad.

"This will be something new to most of our players but it's something they worked so hard to earn and to which we're all looking forward."
