Wilfred Ndidi is anticipating a tough encounter when Leicester City travel to West Ham United for Monday’s Premier League fixture.
Both teams started the 2021-22 league campaign on a winning note with the Hammers fighting back from a goal deficit to claim all three points against Newcastle United.
Leicester City also defeated Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0, thanks to a first-half strike from Jamie Vardy.
The Super Eagles midfielder is confident the Brendan Rodgers’ side can pick up at least a point on the road despite the difficulty might face.
“It’s going to be a tough one,” Ndidi told the club’s website. “We’ll see what we can do. We’ve worked hard for it. We work hard for every game that comes ahead, so we’ll see what comes out of that game.
“Fingers crossed we can get something out of it so let’s go.”
While reviewing last Saturday’s win, Ndidi said he is still in awe of how Vardy finished Ricardo Pereira’s cross towards the end of the first-half.
“I still do not understand how Vards got there,” he continued. “Even during the game I was saying to Daniel [Amartey]: ‘I don’t understand how Vards got there and then dipped it into the goal!’.
“It was brilliant from Ricardo to get past those guys and then the cross. I still don’t understand how Vards got there. It was really good, that’s why he’s there, so we move.”
