West Ham vs Leicester
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: London Stadium
Date: Saturday, 20 April, 2019
Kick-off time: 3:00pm GMT
West Ham will look to snap a three-game losing streak when they host Leicester at the London Stadium this afternoon.
Following losses to Everton and Chelsea, Manuel Pellegrini's side performed well at Old Trafford last weekend and were perhaps unfortunate to slump to a 2-1 defeat to Manchester United as the result of two Paul Pogba penalties.
The Hammers have experienced such inconsistency all season and currently sit 11th on 42 points with only four matches left to play.
Five points ahead in seventh and leading the chase to be crowned as the Premier League's 'best of the rest' are Leicester, whose impressive four-game winning run under Brendan Rodgers was brought to an end last Friday.
Ayoze Perez's expert glancing header condemned the Foxes, still chasing a Europa League spot depending on the result of the FA Cup final between Manchester City and Watford, to a surprise 1-0 home loss to Newcastle.

Score prediction: West Ham 2-2 Leicester
West Ham were unbeaten in six home matches before facing Everton a fortnight ago, though they have also been rather goal-shy on their own patch and rarely seem to keep clean sheets.
Leicester have won successive away games and were looking full of confidence under Rodgers before that slip-up against Newcastle.
The Foxes score plenty of goals on the road and should have enough about them to secure an entertaining point at least.
Head to Head history and results (h2h)
These two sides have met 23 times in the top-flight in the Premier League era, with West Ham boasting 11 wins to Leicester's seven, with five draws.
October's match at the King Power Stadium ended in a 1-1 draw after Wilfred Ndidi's 89th-minute equaliser cancelled out Fabian Balbuena's first-half header.
Mark Noble was sent off for a high challenge on Ndidi.
