Leicester City

Boss Ruud Van Nistelrooy admits Leicester's public disagreements cannot happen again.

Mads Hermansen and midfielder Boubakary Soumare argued on the pitch after Fabio Carvalho scored Brentford's final goal in Friday's 4-0 defeat to the Bees.

He said: "We have to address this type of behaviour. As a team it's good to hold each other accountable. But it can't be like that, out in the open.

"It was the first time it's happened. The players handled it themselves, within the team, so that was a good reaction in the dressing room.

"This week it's been assessed and it's not something that will help us going forwards. I can't see that happening again. The players know.

"I didn't think it was a huge incident but it was something we discussed. The players handled it and, for me, it's a finished matter."

There are ways to bridge the gap. Sean Dyche did this for six or seven years at Burnley.

If you haven't got those players that are able to bridge the gap, you have got to find them. You can look at the under-21s, the under-18s, the periphery players who aren't getting a chance.

He [Ruud an Nistelrooy] used a word that I really don't like in this situation: hope. Hope does not keep you in the Premier League. You can't keep picking the same team and crossing your fingers before you go out. It's just going to be the same as what we've seen.

There are so many untested players, or ones he has tested in the cups and then not given another opportunity.

There are youngsters who are doing incredible things. I would at least be putting some of them on the bench and bringing them on for 15 minutes. One of them could surprise you.

West Ham United

West Ham boss Graham Potter speaking to TNT on what he wants to see after beating Arsenal: "We played as a team. That is the foundation of it and we will need to do that again. It was a slightly different game away at the Emirates and we are at home now. We have to be the protagonists of the game and take responsibility so that is going to be a good challenge for us."

On the different challenge in facing Leicester at the bottom end of the table: "Every game is different in the Premier League. We have to take the game, we have to take the resposibility. It is a team fighting for points at the other end of the table to Arsenal. Every game in this league is really complex and competitive so we have to be good."

On a second successive start for Ollie Scarles: "He's a young player that is enthusiatic, great quality, nice temprament, good level-headed person. He wants to play for the team. He earned his place again and hopefully he can take part in a good performance and thre points again."

On addressing home struggles and trying to get three points at London Stadium: "That's the aim. We are step by step. Last game we were here we were disappointed. We have to try and put that right. Nobody gives you anything, we have to do it ourselves and perform well."

West Ham defended really well against Arsenal on Saturday and countered really well.

Manager Graham Potter will be looking for his side to build on that victory, and with Jarrod Bowen up front, they will have too much firepower for the Foxes.

This is a gimme for West Ham, and it should be a routine victory for them.

I just cannot make a case for Leicester to get anything here and it looks like their hopes of staying up have had it too.

Like Southampton fans, the only thing Leicester supporters have to look forward to is the chance to visit Norwich next season. It is a nice city, and I fully recommend it for a day out.

Sutton's prediction: 2-0

Leicester have won their last three meetings with West Ham, all in the Premier League.

They won 3-1 at home in their previous meeting in December, Ruud van Nistelrooy's first game in charge.

The Foxes have only won one league game since then though...

West Ham United

West Ham manager Graham Potter was asked about the fitness of Vladimir Coufal and Lucas Paqueta: "Both players are progressing but won't make the squad on Thursday.

"Vladi certainly has a chance for Newcastle and Lucas, we'll just have to see how he responds but certainly for Leicester no."
