Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of the Premier League clash between West Ham United and Leicester City at the London Stadium. Team news to follow, kick-off 15:00 GMT.

So, it's all set up nicely and it should be a thrilling contest. My prediction? Leicester will be exhausted after their midweek adventure and I feel they'll lose here. 2-1 West Ham.

Meanwhile, the Foxes are attempting to win three successive Premier League matches for the first time since March-April last year.

PRE-MATCH STAT! West Ham have gone four matches without a victory and could suffer three successive defeats for the first time since September.

Craig Shakespeare, Leicester: "I haven't banned talk of the Champions League but after the [Sevilla] game the focus, what I wanted, has been on West Ham.

"The talk straight after the game was to improve the away record. We want to move away from (the relegation zone) because it is tight down there but we can't look too far ahead."

Slaven Bilic, West Ham: "Leicester is a different team from four weeks ago. They really played extremely well, especially against Sevilla, when they got a great result for them and for English football in general.

"In all those three games, against Liverpool, against Hull and against Sevilla, they looked lively - and of course those kind of results, three wins on the spin including qualifying for the quarter-final of the Champions League, has given them a massive boost."

While their opponents have had a crazy, dramatic and completely unpredictable season, it's all been rather dull for West Ham in their first season at the London Stadium. Currently seven points above the relegation zone, the Hammers' place in the Premier League isn't guaranteed just yet but a much needed win on home soil would settle the nerves.

Leicester’s unforgettable 2-0 victory over Sevilla on Tuesday night was rewarded with a Champions League quarter final match with Atletico Madrid but Craig Shakespeare’s side have four important matches before they clash with the La Liga giants, beginning with West Ham this afternoon. The Foxes are still battling for their Premier League survival but a fourth consecutive victory today would all but secure their place in the top flight for next season.

Meanwhile, Leicester boss Craig Shakespeare makes one change from the side that miraculously beat Sevilla in midweek with skipper Wes Morgan missing out with a back injury and replaced in defence by Yohan Benalouane. Kasper Schmeichel takes the captain’s armband.

Two changes for the Hammers as Sam Byram and Andre Ayew replace captain Mark Noble, who is ruled out with a dead leg, and Sofiane Feghouli who is on the bench.

West Ham: Randolph, Byram, Fonte, Reid, Cresswell, Kouyate, Obiang, Ayew, Lanzini, Antonio, Carroll.

Leicester: Schmeichel, Simpson, Huth, Benalouane, Fuchs, Mahrez, Ndidi, Drinkwater, Albrighton, Okazaki, Vardy.
