Match facts
Head-to-head
Leicester are vying for a fourth consecutive top-flight win against West Ham.
The Hammers won their first five Premier League home games against the Foxes but have just four victories in 11 subsequent meetings (D2, L5).
West Ham United
West Ham lost 3-1 to Leicester in December but that is their only defeat in their past 14 top-flight matches against newly-promoted sides (W11, D2).
They are unbeaten in nine Premier League home games against newly-promoted opposition, winning all but one, since a 2-1 loss to Brentford in October 2021.
The Londoners are vying to win back-to-back league fixtures for the first time since beating Everton and Brentford 12 months ago.
But they are also in danger of losing three consecutive top-flight home matches for the second time this season.
Jarrod Bowen's winner at Arsenal on Saturday was his 50th Premier League goal, all for West Ham. Only Michail Antonio, with 68, has more for the club.
Leicester City
The Foxes have lost 10 of their past 11 Premier League games, including the last three by an aggregate score of 10-0.
They have not suffered four consecutive top-flight defeats without scoring since Claudio Ranieri's final five league matches in charge in January and February 2017.
Leicester are the only side without a top-flight away clean sheet this term, conceding 32 goals in 12 games.
They have had 80 shots on target in this season's Premier League, fewer than any other side, while also recording league-low totals for shots (238) and expected goals (24.2).
Ruud van Nistelrooy has lost 10 of his 15 Premier League matches with Leicester – twice as many defeats as he recorded in 34 Eredivisie games in charge of PSV Eindhoven.
