East Midlands meets East London at the King Power Stadium this evening, as Leicester City host West Ham United in front of the BT Sport cameras.

Head-to-Head

Victories in the East Midlands have been hard to come by for West Ham. Last season’s 2-0 success at the King Power was their first over the Foxes since December 2014 – a run stretching back nine games.

Mark Noble and Joao Mario scored the goals that afternoon, as the Hammers continued their ascent towards safety under David Moyes.

Likely XIs

Leicester showed plenty of promise against Arsenal on Monday night. Claude Puel is unlikely to make too many changes as a result. Kelechi Iheanacho should continue to partner Jamie Vardy up front, with James Maddison in behind. Demarai Gray could return to the bench after a spell on the sidelines.

Manuel Pellegrini will have to shuffle his pack after the injury to Andriy Yarmolenko last week. That could mean a first start in over a month for Michail Antonio. Otherwise, it should be as you were for the Hammers, who are expected to counter Leicester’s 3-4-1-2 with a 4-2-3-1 set up.

Key Battles

The Foxes enjoyed plenty of success down the flanks against Arsenal. Ben Chiwell and Ricardo Pereira will be key again up against Pablo Zabaleta and Arthur Masuaku.
