West Ham United will clash heads with Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Sunday evening as they try to collect maximum points from this away clash. The Hammers managed to secure a 1-0 win over Watford in midweek which will keep them in high spirits ahead of this game.
David Moyes could opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make one change to his starting XI for this game. Issa Diop could play from the start while Kurt Zouma might get benched following his off-the-pitch misbehavior.
4-2-3-1 West Ham United Predicted Lineup To Face Leicester City
Defence
Łukasz Fabiański will get the nod to feature in goal for West Ham after he secured a clean sheet against the Hornets in his last league outing. As mentioned earlier, Issa Diop will start and operate alongside Craig Dawson at the centre of Moyes’ defence as they try to keep things solid at the back during the 90 minutes.
Vladimír Coufal will play at right-back while Aaron Cresswell looks to give a good account of himself as the left-back. Both of them will get the freedom to express themselves in the opposition half so that they can offer enough support to the West Ham frontline.

Midfield
Declan Rice will anchor the midfield along with Tomas Soucek. Their main job would be to dominate possession at the centre of the park and create some meaningful chances for their teammates in the final third.
The gifted trio of Pablo Fornals, Said Benrahma and Jarrod Bowen will function just ahead of them as part of the Hammers attack. Bowen scored the only goal of the game versus Watford, so his confidence will be sky-high ahead of this Premier League contest.
Manuel Lanzini and Andriy Yarmolenko will have to settle for a spot on the bench as they wait for their chance to shine in the second half if needed.
Attack
Michail Antonio will lead the charge for the East London club up top. The English striker will be eager to cause a few problems for the Leicester backline and get his name on the scoresheet this weekend.
