Leicester midfielder Wilfred Ndidi: We must leave West Ham with points

Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi expects a massive test tonight at West Ham United.

The Hammers secured the east London club's highest-ever Premier League points tally last term and were the only side to do 'the double' over City, who finished the campaign one place above David Moyes' men in the final top-flight standings.

"For me, I always believe in growth," the Nigeria international told LCFC TV. "When a team does well last season, they always believe, the growth comes, so they are a very good side.

"They're ready to go for it and, as I said, in the Premier League, there's no smaller team. Everyone is just the same. All that matters is the 90 minutes.

"I think it's one of those games we have to get something out of and then try and look forward to the next one. We'll try to get [the win] and then look forward to the next one."

Ndidi is delighted to be back alongside Youri Tielemans in midfield for Leicester.

"We've played together and we built our relationship," Ndidi added. "We complement each other and we understand the game, we understand each other.

"The main job is to try and help the team. When we get the opportunity to be together, we try to help the team. Youri's a fantastic player and I'm very glad to play alongside him and we look forward to more to come."
