David Moyes tipped striker Michail Antonio to smash West Ham's Premier League goalscoring record as he looked ahead to Monday night's home game against Leicester City.

Antonio moved level with former Hammers favourite Paolo Di Canio on 47 goals with a goal in last weekend's 4-2 win at Newcastle.

"I think Mick will see it as a big deal and so he should do because West Ham, if you look through the eras, have had so many great players," Moyes said.

"So I think that for Micky to have the chance to do it, having started as a winger and then full-back and wing-back, for this period in his career he is a centre-forward so I hope he gets in front by about 20 or 30 goals ahead of Paolo Di Canio. I hope he makes it very difficult for anyone to catch him."
