West Ham United are back in action this evening, as they host Leicester City at the London Stadium.

The Hammers lost 2-0 at Watford in David Moyes’ first game as manager last week, and the Scot takes charge of his first home game tonight.

Joe Hart starts in goal, with a back four of Pablo Zabaleta, Winston Reid, Angelo Ogbonna and Aaron Cresswell ahead of him.

Cheikhou Kouyate and Pedro Obiang feature in midfield, with left back Arthur Masuaku pushed forward into an attacking role, whilst Manuel Lanzinig and Marko Arnautovic will also support Andy Carroll.

Mark Noble has been dropped to the bench, alongside Adrian, Declan Rice, Edimilson Fernandes, Domingos Quina, Andre Ayew and Diafra Sakho.

Meanwhile, Leicester head into the game having lost 2-0 at Manchester City last weekend, handing new boss Claude Puel his first defeat in the job.

The Foxes start with Kasper Schmeichel in goal, whilst Danny Simpson, Wes Morgan, Harry Maguire and Christian Fuchs line up in defence.

Vicente Iborra and Wilfried Ndidi feature in defensive midfield, with Demarai Gray, Riyad Mahrez and Marc Albrighton all featuring behind lone striker Jamie Vardy.

Islam Slimani and Kelechi Iheanacho are only on the bench, alongside Ben Hamer, Aleksandar Dragovic, Ben Chilwell, Andy King and Shinji Okazaki.
