West Ham United winger Matt Jarvis expecting "tough" Leicester City test

West Ham winger Matt Jarvis believes that he and his teammates will be given an "extremely tough game" away to struggling Leicester City.

Matt Jarvis has warned his West Ham United teammates to expect an "extremely tough game" away to Leicester City this afternoon.

Leicester are currently seven points adrift of safety at the bottom of the Premier League table thanks to an eight-match winless run.

The Hammers travel to the King Power Stadium in good spirits after a narrow 1-0 victory over Sunderland, but Jarvis believes that his side will be given a stern test by the strugglers.

"Leicester will be looking to have a fast start and get the crowd up," the winger told the club's official website. "They need to go for it so we know it will be an extremely tough game.

"They work hard as a team and create a lot of opportunities. They've shown their quality in parts of games but you get punished in the Premier League and that's what's happened to them."

Jarvis has made 11 appearances in all competitions for West Ham so far this season.
