West Ham host Leicester City in the Premier League at the London Stadium this evening.
Graham Potter is aiming to build on an impressive away win at Arsenal at the weekend. Jarrod Bowen’s goal earned the Hammers a huge London derby result at the Emirates and just a second league win since Potter’s appointment.
West Ham remain 16th in the table but can move above Everton with victory over struggling Leicester tonight.

West Ham vs Leicester – Predicted lineup and team news
West Ham team news
Evan Ferguson is pushing for his first start since joining West Ham on loan from Brighton. Potter has taken a patient approach with the 20-year-old, who has been limited to cameos from the bench so far.
Ferguson’s arrival helps combat the absences of Michail Antonio and Niclas Fullkrug, who remain on the sidelines alongside Crysencio Summerville. Potter has confirmed West Ham will also be without Lucas Paqueta and Vladimir Coufal due to ankle and hamstring issues respectively.
Oliver Scarles will hope to retain his place ahead of Emerson Palmieri. The 19-year-old was excellent on his full league debut at Arsenal, becoming the first Premier League player in over 12 months to record 6+ tackles and 6+ interceptions.
West Ham predicted lineup
West Ham predicted XI: Areola; Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Scarles; Alvarez, Soucek, Ward-Prowse; Bowen, Kudus, Ferguson.
