Plenty of endeavour. Very little quality.

If West Ham can't end this miserable home run against a second-string Leicester side then you wonder if they ever will...

Pablo Fornals does well to win the ball back high, looking to set Sebastien Haller free with a quick ball forward. Jonny Evans cuts it out with a karate-style flying kick.

West Ham fans will be reasonably happy with what they've seen though, especially in the context of some first-half horror shows recently.

A few groans as Arthur Masuaku's pass forward only finds a royal blue shirt.

Not quite turned into the Christmas cracker which we hoped after that early penalty drama...

That's more like it! Hammers left-back Arthur Masuaku has a pop from outside the box, forcing Kasper Schmeichel into a flying save to his left. Can a Hammers foot get there first? No... Leicester clear.

Manuel Lanzini whips in the free-kick for West Ham but the Leicester defence is organised and clear easily.

Ouch. Felipe Anderson takes whack on the ankle from Nampalys Mendy, who crouches down and pleads his case to the referee. All day long.

Leicester have taken the sting out of West Ham somewhat. Bursting their bubble perhaps. The Foxes have slowed the tempo down, Jonny Evans and Wes Morgan controlling the pace.

I'd love to know what Brendan Rodgers writes on his post-it notes. The Foxes boss is scribbling away as his team look to reassert some control.

That's livened things up! The adrenaline is pumping through the veins of the West Ham contingent now.

Quick VAR check.. any infringement? Any West Ham player encroaching by a millimetre or two? No! The save stands.

SAVED! Lukasz Fabianski dives low to his left and stops Demarai Gray's weak spot-kick.

With a man covering, Lukasz Fabianski escapes with just a yellow card. Can he redeem himself...

Welcome back Lukasz Fabianski...

West Ham were hoping for a cool head back between the sticks. Not so. The Hammers keeper races out as Kelechi Iheanacho races onto Demarai Gray's lofted pass and takes out the Leicester striker.

No doubt whatsoever.

Good tempo to this so far. West Ham have their first effort at goal, Sebastien Haller smashing a shot into a Leicester body which allows the Foxes to scamper forward.

Kelechi Iheanacho leads the charge but his touch is heavy and the ball runs safely back to Lukasz Fabianski.

Leicester have taken some big strides since Brendan Rodgers took over earlier in the year, but the manner of back-to-back defeats by Manchester City and Liverpool shows the work that lies ahead to close the gap to the very best.

The Foxes will have under 48 hours to prepare - or should I say recover - ahead of this encounter in the capital, having played on Boxing Day evening.

West Ham, who lost to a late goal at Crystal Palace earlier on Boxing Day, are hovering uncomfortably close to the relegation zone and have lost their last three home games, conceding three goals each time.

A run of just two wins in 13 matches means time may not be on Manuel Pellegrini's side as he tries to find a winning formula.

That Evans stray pass didn't hamper the Foxes too much. The visitors create the first chance of the match, the ball falling to Marc Albrighton on the left side of the box and the Premier League title winner drills a low shot straight at Lukasz Fabianski.

Huge cheers from the West Ham fans, who are thankful to have a safe pair of hands back in their net.

Only two players remain in Leicester's side from the Boxing Day beating by Liverpool - Kasper Schmeichel and Jonny Evans. So Evans can't blame ring-rust for a sloppy pass out of play.
