    West Ham 1-2 Leicester

    All over! Boos from the home fans - those left in the rapidly-emptying stands, anyway - tell you what they think.

    Almost the killer blow... Harvey Barnes rounds Lukasz Fabianski but can't beat the scrambling Hammers keeper.

    Leicester have the ball right where they want it. Deep in the Hammers half.

    James Justin has had a good Premier League debut for Leicester City in defence. You wouldn't think it was his first game.

    West Ham 1-2 Leicester

    Robert Snodgrass tries to round Kasper Schmeichel and tumbles over. Some Hammers fans holler for a penalty, not a chance. No contact, Snodgrass stumbled.

    West Ham 1-2 Leicester

    Should have wrapped it up. Leicester surge forward, Hamza Choudhury drilling into a Hammers defender.

    West Ham 1-2 Leicester

    Cue groans. Another sloppy pass from the home side leaves the 'ammers fans not so 'appy.

    Ooof. James Maddison has a pop from distance. That might have troubled Roberto but not Lukasz Fabianski...

    West Ham 1-2 Leicester

    A very good shift for Demarai Gray. Well, apart from that penalty miss. That doesn't matter now. Gray, who is the matchwinner as it stands, goes off with Harvey Barnes coming on in his place.

    West Ham 1-2 Leicester

    Albian Ajeti has provided some energy up top for West Ham, but he is a little over-zealous and fouls Jonny Evans. Leicester keeper Kasper Schmeichel comically dives five yards onto the ball despite the whistle being long gone.

    West Ham 1-2 Leicester

    Hammers skipper Declan Rice's frustrations come to the fore. Rice clatters England colleague James Maddison and sees a yellow card wafted in his face.

    Leicester's Marc Albrighton whips in a cross from the right... over everyone in the box.

    Anderson is back on his feet. Hammers back to 11.

    West Ham 1-2 Leicester

    Uh oh. Felipe Anderson seems to have picked up a knock. West Ham have already made all three changes...

    West Ham 1-2 Leicester

    Almost straight in the thick of it! Albian Ajeti looks to latch onto a throughball, Kasper Schmeichel is alert and slides out to gather.

    West Ham 1-2 Leicester

    Albian Ajeti, by the way, hasn't scored for West Ham since arriving from Basel in the summer. What a time this would be to bag his first. And second...

  19. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 70 mins

    West Ham 1-2 Leicester

    More changes than a Christmas party-goer deciding which outfit to wear. West Ham make another switch with Swiss striker Albian Ajeti replacing Manuel Lanzini.

    More changes from Brendan Rodgers. Wilfred Ndidi comes on for fellow midfielder Nampalys Mendy. Fresh legs.
