West Ham welcome Leicester City to the London Stadium this evening in the final game of the midweek round of Premier League fixtures.
The Hammers will be looking to build on Saturday’s excellent 1-0 victory at Arsenal, Graham Potter looking to win two games on the trot for the first time as West Ham boss.
On the flip side, Leicester are in terrible form having lost 4-0 to Brentford on Friday night, their sixth home defeat without scoring in a row.
Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side may nonetheless take some hope from the fact their last win came in London, a surprise 2-1 victory at Tottenham at the end of January.
Here’s where you can watch to see if the Foxes can spring another surprise in the capital.

Team news
Graham Potter confirmed in his pre-match press conference that his side will be without Vladimir Coufal and Lucas Paqueta as they continue to recover from hamstring and ankle injuries, respectively. Michail Antonio, Niclas Fullkrug and Crysencio Summerville are all still unavailable, too.
But academy product Ollie Scarles will be looking to impress again after an excellent showing against Arsenal’s young starlet Ethan Nwaneri on Saturday.
Leicester’s James Justin is a doubt and faces a late fitness test after he missed the Foxes’ defeat against Brentford, the full-back picking up a foot injury that forced him off midway through Leicester’s 2-0 loss against Arsenal earlier in February.
Abdul Fatawu is a long-term absentee, while Jamie Vardy will be looking for the two goals he needs to reach 200 goals for the club.
Prediction
Despite these sides being separated by just three positions in the table, it is difficult to see anything but a West Ham victory.
The East London side were good value for their win at second-place Arsenal on Saturday, and Leicester’s defensive frailties mean the Hammers should have too much for their opponents this evening.
