Unsurprisingly, Leicester have made no changes to their starting side wheres West Ham have made five to the side that played United earlier on in the week. Adrian replaces Randolph, Reid moves in for Tomkins at centre-back, Emmanuel Emenike earns his place above Andy Carroll, while Moses and Obiang both start having come on from the bench last Thursday.

Andy Carroll's absence from the starting line-up will certainly draw questions from fans and pundits alike. The big Geordie was so effective last week against Arsenal when he bagged himself a hat-trick but he's lost his place today to Emmanuel Emenike. Morgan and Huth can breathe a sigh of relief...Hopefully Slaven Bilic will enlighten us as to why he's made the decision when he gives his pre-match interview.

In other news, we've done some number-crunching and there's a chance that Leicester could be named Premier League champions as early as next week. Take a read to see how...

14 min: Leicester look to slot through one of their trade-mark through balls to Vardy but there's too much ball on Okazaki's ball in behind. Adrian rushes from his line to claim the pass and cut the danger short.
