It’s a big game for…
Felipe Anderson – After a bright start to the season, it was another tough afternoon for the Brazilian against Tottenham. He was profligate in possession and the quality of his set pieces left a lot to be desired. He also failed defensively, not doing enough to stop Moussa Sissoko for Lamela’s opener, and it was no surprise he was taken off ten minutes into the second half. Manuel Pellegrini will need a much better performance from the club’s record signing this time around.
Weird stat…
Six: West Ham have lost six points from winning positions this season, more than any other Premier League side.
Remember when…
There were very few matchday disappointments in Leicester’s title-winning season, but their home game against West Ham would probably rank among their highest. After Jamie Vardy had opened the scoring, two goals in three minutes from West Ham left Leicester staring at a potential loss. Leonardo Ulloa’s penalty saw them avoid defeat, but Aaron Creswell’s sumptuous finish to put West Ham into the lead was a piece of elegance during a fiery encounter.
Player to watch…
Ben Chilwell – The left-back delivered yet another solid performance against Arsenal, particularly in the first half. He caused Hector Bellerin a great deal of trouble, the result of which led to the England international’s involvement in the Spaniard’s own goal. If he keeps performing like this he will hold down England’s left-back position for years to come.

Chilwell again causes problems on the left, cutting a ball back across goal. There's no one on the end of it, though.
Leicester 0-1 West Ham
53 minutes
Ndidi finds space in a central position outside the box and fires a shot on goal. It's wayward, though, and goes out harmlessly for a goal kick.
Leicester 0-1 West Ham
55 minutes
Chance for Vardy. Albrighton picks him out in the box but he can only guide his header wide. His presence is already causing problems.
Leicester 0-1 West Ham
57 minutes
Maddison goes down in the box and appeals for a penalty. Michael Oliver says no. Then Iheanacho claims handball after seeing a shot blocked. Michael Oliver says no.
Leicester 0-1 West Ham
61 minutes
West Ham will be pleased with how the second half has gone so far. They have, inevitably, retreated into a compact defensive shape and dropped deeper. But Leicester haven't created any huge chances, and they're still struggling to find a way through.
Leicester 0-1 West Ham
62 minutes
Fabianski is forced into action to twice deny Albrighton. Good goalkeeping.
Leicester 0-1 West Ham
63 minutes
Perhaps Leicester's best chance. Albrighton picks out Vardy again but, yards out, he heads over the bar.
Leicester 0-1 West Ham
65 minutes
A speculative effort from Maddison. He manoeuvres the ball onto his left foot but drills it over and wide. Moments later, Chilwell bursts forward and pulls the ball back. Demarai Gray, who has replaced Iheanacho, can only drag wide.
Leicester 0-1 West Ham
67 minutes
Leicester are peppering West Ham's goal now. Maguire comes close from a corner, looping a header onto the bar. An equaliser continues to evade them.
