West Ham vs Leicester: Foxes are vulnerable after Champions League comedown, writes Danny Murphy

As soon as Leicester had completed their Champions League win over Sevilla, I thought West Ham would have a hell of a chance to beat them.

Leicester have just played one of the games of their lives and they are now in the quarter-finals.

They will have been on such an emotional high and after that, there has to be comedown.

Players have to try to motivate themselves to be at the same level but it is so tough.

I scored the winner for Liverpool at Everton at Easter in 2003 and I felt great.

Two days later, we scraped past Charlton 2-1 at Anfield with two late goals and I was awful.

You think you’ve prepared but you find you lack sharpness and sometimes you can be a bit cocky.

So it is almost inevitable that Leicester will suffer a dip and West Ham need to start on the front foot.

That should not be a problem after losing two and drawing two of their last four games.
