Confirmed West Ham team vs Leicester: Masuaku starts and Fornals dropped

David Moyes has made one changes to the team that was held by Everton last time out as West Ham face Leicester City in the Premier League.

Out goes Pablo Fornals from the team that drew 1-1 at London Stadium on Saturday and he is replaced by Arthur Masuaku.

It looks as though Moyes has gone with the back five once again but has made a change  with Masuaku coming in at left wing-back this evening, he came off the bench and played in left midfield against the Toffees.

Pablo Zabaleta continues at right wing back ahead of a likely rest this weekend for the FA Cup tie with West Brom at London Stadium.

Darren Randolph starts in goal for the second successive game, deputising for the injured Lukas Fabianski, following his £4m move from Middlesbrough just over a week ago.

Sebastien Haller starts up front as well looking for his first goal since his New Year's Day striker against Bournemouth.

Michail Antonio is back in the matchday 18 for the first time since Moyes' return to the club having recovered from a hamstring injury that forced him out of the last two games and he is on the bench.

Felipe Anderson misses out through injury and he is expected to be sidelined for the next month with a back problem sustained against Sheffield United. Andriy Yarmolenko also remains sidelined with a thigh injury.

West Ham: Fabianski; Zabaleta, Diop, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Masuaku; Rice, Noble, Lanzini, Snodgrass, Haller.
