Match report in news

  • 96'
    That's it! West Ham fought amazingly well for that point, and were unlucky to concede that goal late on. The result only adds pressure on to Claude Puel, but full credit to West Ham's defensive ranks should be given.
  • 91'
    Daniel Amartey has suffered a terrible ankle injury. There will be a lot of stoppage time as he's treated on the pitch.
  • 90'
    GOAL!!!!! Wilfred Ndidi fires a shot from distance, and it takes a very unfortunate deflection from Balbuena and flies in to the net.

    Ghezzal is the man to go off for Vardy.
  • 46'
    We're off again. Leicester needed a change, and Jamie Vardy is given 45 minutes as they look to get back in to the game.
  • 45'
    That's the end of the first period. The half picked up as it went on, with West Ham desrving to take the lead. However, that red card will completely change the complection of the game in the second half. Will Vardy be introduced to get the Foxes back in to it?

  • 40'
    Great chance for Iborra from a free-kick, but Fabianski does really well to save his header.

    HE'S OFF! Mark Noble sees a straight red card for what the referee sees as a dangerous challenge. You can see why it was given, but West Ham players and fans will not be happy.

    The Leicester manager has spoken about his controversial decision to leave striker Jamie vardy out of the team: “Of course the player wants to start. But I have to manage the player. We have three games in a week and need to manage all the squad. It is important to play well, at 100 percent, and it will be a good opportunity for Jamie and Demarai Gray to come on in the second half.”
  • PRVW
    It's a first start for 20 year-old winger Grady Dianga today, after impressing in cup appearances, to replace Andriy Yarmolenko who faces a lengthy lay off with injury.

    Here's the West Ham team for the game: Fabianski; Zabaleta, Balbuena, Diop, Cresswell; Snodgrass, Rice, Noble; Diangana, Hernandez, Felipe Anderson.
  • PRVW
    This is how the home team will look: Schmeichel; Amartey, Maguire, Soyuncu, Chilwell; Ndidi, Iborra; Albrighton; Maddison, Ghezzal; Iheanacho.
  • PRVW
    The London-based team got off to a terrible start to the season, and have not much improved despite clinching a win over Man Utd before the international break. They know they need to do better, and will see this as an opportunity to show their improvement.
  • PRVW
    The home side have had a decidely mixed start to their Premier League campaign, and faced a rampany Arsenal side in their last outing to come out 3-1 losers. They will be confident of turning it around on home turf.
