Who's in contention to play?
Jonny Evans
Northern Ireland international Jonny Evans started in Leicester's win over Manchester City last weekend.
Speaking to the national and international media in his pre-match press conference on Friday, manager Brendan Rodgers revealed that Jonny Evans and Jamie Vardy are both in contention to feature this weekend, while Dennis Praet's injury is not as bad as first thought.
"Jonny [Evans] is fine. Thankfully he just felt it a little tight but it was more having played his first game, so he was okay.
"And like I said afterwards, Jamie [Vardy] is absolutely fine. He has this little something in his hip which takes a few days to settle down and he's fine, he's okay.
"Dennis [Praet], we'll see how he is. He's trained but we just need to see what the reaction is for that. Obviously he came off but that wasn't as serious as what we thought."
What happened last time?
Ayoze Pérez
Spaniard Ayoze Pérez scored twice in City's last meeting with West Ham United.
City's most recent meeting with West Ham at King Power Stadium was a 4-1 victory on 22 January 2020, with goals from Harvey Barnes, Ricardo Pereira and a double from Ayoze Pérez.
That victory completed a league double over Sunday opponents, also winning 2-1 at London Stadium in December 2019.
When can I catch match highlights?
James Maddison
Highlights from the Foxes' encounter with West Ham will be made available to watch two hours after full-time.
Just two hours after full-time on Filbert Way, you can access a two-minute highlights package on LCFC TV - available for free to Digital Members on the Club's official website (free sign-up).
Short clips will also be available on Leicester City's official social media channels, while a full highlights video will be published on LCFC.com at midnight following the fixture.
Please note that in the interests of safety, Leicester City’s fixtures will continue to be played behind closed doors. To ensure matches can still go ahead and to help control the spread of COVID-19, the Football Club kindly asks its supporters to continue to follow their team from home and not to gather at any stadia.
