Moyes makes one forced change

The team news is in and, as expected, Michail Antonio is absent after suffering a hamstring injury at Molineux on Monday evening.

His place goes to Jarrod Bowen, who scored in the 3-2 win at Wolves, in the only change to the starting XI from that victory.

Mark Noble becomes the first West Ham United player to reach 400 Premier League appearances and he captains the side.

Talking of skippers, U23s captain Conor Coventry, fresh from Friday’s Premier League 2 Division 1 win at Manchester United, is drafted onto the substitutes’ bench.

The starting lineup is: West Ham United: Fabiański, Coufal, Diop, Dawson, Cresswell, Masuaku, Noble ©, Souček, Fornals, Bowen, Lingard

Subs: Martin (GK), Trott (GK), Fredericks, Johnson, Balbuena, Alves, Coventry, Benrahma, Odubeko

Darren Randolph (hip) Angelo Ogbonna (ankle) Yarmolenko (knee) Declan Rice (knee) Michail Antonio (hamstring) Manual Lanzini (knock) all remain unavailable for this game against Leicester City.

The Hammers have dropped down to sixth in the Premier League table but a win will put them back to fourth place.

They have got to get out of the habit of capitulating second half
