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

West Ham hope goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski will be fit to return after three months out with a hip injury.

Fabianski, who has been badly missed since being sidelined in September, was not ready to face Crystal Palace on Boxing Day so Roberto was in goal.

But there is hope Fabianski will return against Leicester to give under-fire West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini a much-needed boost.

Ryan Fredericks is back after missing the Palace game with suspension.

Aaron Cresswell serves a one-game ban after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season at Palace, so Arthur Masuaku is set to come in at left-back for his first Premier League start in over two months.

Manuel Lanzini came off the bench against Palace after his spell out with a shoulder injury and is in contention to start.
