West Ham United go into this weekend’s match against Leicester City knowing they have to patch up their leaky defence if they are to take anything from the game.
The Hammers have conceded four in each of their last two matches, albeit against Manchester City and Arsenal.
Last time out it was against the Premier League champions City, and West Ham were powerless to resist as Leroy Sane, Gabriel Jesus, Fernandinho and a Pablo Zabaleta own goal swept the Hammers aside.
The result leaves West Ham in a precarious position, with the Hammers and many teams around them still having three matches to play.
They are 15th with 35 points to their name, which is only three more than 18th placed Southampton.
As for their opponents this weekend, Leicester also go into the match on the back of a thumping, having lost 5-0 at Crystal Palace last weekend.
The result has sparked rumours of Claude Peuls job at the Foxes being under threat, although with the club in 9th they could be wide of the mark.
The two sides couldn’t be separated when they met at the London Stadium earlier this season, as Marc Albrighton’s strike was cancelled out by Cheikhou Kouyate.
This is who we expect to start the match for the Hammers…
