West Ham United v Leicester City: match preview

West Ham United v Leicester City
West Ham United v Leicester City: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

Slaven Bilic’s West Ham stunned Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium but he has warned they will have to perform at the same level against Leicester, who thrashed Sunderland at the King Power Stadium. Reece Oxford should start in midfield again for West Ham after his starring role against Arsenal, while Jamie Vardy is expected to play for Leicester after the club disciplined him for making a racial slur at a fellow gambler in a casino.
