West Ham XI vs Leicester: Confirmed team news, starting lineup, latest injuries for Premier League

West Ham picked up their first win of the Premier League season in some style against Wolves last weekend, and head to Leicester this afternoon having found their groove.

A shift to five at the back has seen a dire opening day display against Newcastle long forgotten. The Hammers were unlucky to come away from Arsenal empty-handed but made up for it by putting four past Wolves on Sunday.

The prospect of Leicester, fresh from their 5-2 win over Manchester City, is rather different and West Ham will still be without manager David Moyes on the sideline as he remains in self-isolation.

While Moyes remains in isolation, Issa Diop and Josh Cullen - who also tested positive for coronavirus - are back training, though after 10 days away it is too soon to come back into the fold.

Meanwhile, new signing Vladimir Coufal is fit and starts at right-back.

West Ham: Fabianski, Coufal, Balbuena, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Masuaku, Bowen, Soucek, Rice, Fornals, Antonio

Subs: Yarmolenko, Felipe Anderson, Lanzini, Noble, Haller, Johnson, Randolp

Leicester: Schmeichel, Castagne, Amartey, Evans, Soyuncu, Justin, Perez, Tielemans, Mendy, Barnes, Vardy

Subs: Fofana, Albrighton, Ward, Iheanacho, Under, Choudhury, Fuchs
