West Ham have only managed one victory in their last nine encounters with Leicester in all competitions (W1 D3 L5), a 2-0 away win in May 2018.

Leicester have won two of their last three league trips to West Ham (D1), as many as their previous 29 visits (W2 D6 L21).

West Ham have scored in 22 of their last 23 home league games against Leicester City (W17 D3 L3), only failing to score in a 1-0 defeat at the Boleyn Ground in August 2000.

Since winning 3-2 at West Ham in March 2017, Leicester have won just one of their last 12 Premier League games in London (D4 L7), winning 1-0 at Chelsea earlier this season.

West Ham have lost their last three Premier League games, last losing four in a row in their opening four matches under Manuel Pellegrini this season.

West Ham have only lost one of their last seven home league games (W4 D2), though it was against Everton in their last match at the London Stadium.

West Ham have picked up just four points from their last 27 available against sides starting the day in the top half of the table (W1 D1 L7), with the Hammers scoring just three goals in that run.

Leicester are looking to win three consecutive Premier League away games for the first time since April 2016.

West Ham’s top league scorer this season Felipe Anderson is looking to score in consecutive Premier League games for the first time since November.

Leicester’s Marc Albrighton has been directly involved in five Premier League goals against West Ham (1 goal, 4 assists) – against no side has been involved in more. He’s either scored or assisted a goal in all three of his top-flight away games against the Hammers.
 
Referee: Lee Probert
Assistants: Roger West, Andy Garratt
Fourth official: Andre Marriner
 
They really are vulnerable but it depends which Leicester City turn up.
 
I was going to say it depends which West Ham turns up!

Guess that is why we are both mid table but this could be anything from 0-0 to 72-0 either way.
 
Albrighton on the left Barnes on the right.
 
I'd play Albrighton on the left and put Barnes on the bench to bring on later as he'd be fresh and run at hopefully a tired defence for the last 20 minutes or so.
