West Ham may sense an opportunity for a statement win when a Leicester City side licking their wounds.
Back-to-back defeats, against Manchester City and Liverpool, have seen the Foxes stumble somewhat - though still hold a firm grip on the top four.
The Hammers, and Manuel Pellegrini, are again facing questions after a damaging last-minute defeat at Crystal Palace, which has left them one point above the relegation zone.
The game is Saturday, December 28 at 5.30pm GMT.

West Ham: West Ham hope goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski will be fit to return after three months out with a hip injury. Ryan Fredericks is back after missing the Palace game with suspension.
