Both Leicester City and West Ham United will be looking to avoid a third consecutive league defeat when they face each other for the late Saturday kick-off.

Leicester City have suffered back-to-back defeats to Everton and Arsenal while West Ham were defeated 1-0 by both Brighton and Tottenham in their last two matches.

These latest results have put Manuel Pellegrini’s side in desperate need of a win after slumping to 14th, two points off the relegation zone and five points behind Claude Puel’s side three places above them. Follow it live:

It’s a big game for…

Felipe Anderson – After a bright start to the season, it was another tough afternoon for the Brazilian against Tottenham. He was profligate in possession and the quality of his set pieces left a lot to be desired. He also failed defensively, not doing enough to stop Moussa Sissoko for Lamela’s opener, and it was no surprise he was taken off ten minutes into the second half. Manuel Pellegrini will need a much better performance from the club’s record signing this time around.

Weird stat…

Six: West Ham have lost six points from winning positions this season, more than any other Premier League side.

Remember when…

There were very few matchday disappointments in Leicester’s title-winning season, but their home game against West Ham would probably rank among their highest. After Jamie Vardy had opened the scoring, two goals in three minutes from West Ham left Leicester staring at a potential loss. Leonardo Ulloa’s penalty saw them avoid defeat, but Aaron Creswell’s sumptuous finish to put West Ham into the lead was a piece of elegance during a fiery encounter.

Player to watch…

Ben Chilwell – The left-back delivered yet another solid performance against Arsenal, particularly in the first half. He caused Hector Bellerin a great deal of trouble, the result of which led to the England international’s involvement in the Spaniard’s own goal. If he keeps performing like this he will hold down England’s left-back position for years to come.

The teams are in!

Vardy left out

As had been rumoured, Jamie Vardy does not start for Leicester. He's been deemed not fit for a place in the team, despite scoring three goals in his last seven appearances. It's a decision that is believed to have made him angry.

Tough to call

These are two sides whose seasons so far have been characterised by inconsistency. Both have, at times, impressed and looked accomplished teams. Equally, they have both had off days, more regularly than they would like.

It's why, after defeats against Tottenham and Arsenal respectively in their last outings, Leicester and West Ham sit in the bottom half of the Premier League. This is a tough one to predict.

We're off at the King Power! Can either side get back to winning ways here?

Leicester 0-0 West Ham

2 minutes

The Leicester fans celebrate, but they're silenced quickly. The flag goes up as Kelechi Iheanacho fires into the net. No goal.

Leicester 0-0 West Ham

Leicester have definitely started the better of the two sides. They force two corners in quick succession, but West Ham manage to get the ball clear.

Leicester 0-0 West Ham

8 minutes

It's a scrappy, disjointed affair so far. Leicester are in the ascendancy, but there's not much structure to the game.

Leicester 0-0 West Ham

9 minutes

Clever play on the edge of the box from Ghezzal, who looks to feed Iheanacho. There's just too much on his pass, though, and it goes through to Fabianski.

[27 October 2018 17:43 · Callum Rice-Coates]

Leicester 0-0 West Ham

11 minutes

Fabianski leaps into the air to tip over the bar and prevent an own goal as Balbuena's backwards header loops towards goal. It's an unconvincing start from the Hammers.
