Leicester City will hope to avoid an 11th loss in 12 Premier League games when they face West Ham United on Thursday.
The Foxes will come up against some some familiar faces in the opposition including Graham Potter, who rejected the Leicester job, before the Foxes chose Ruud van Nistelrooy instead.
There’s also West Ham’s key player Jarrod Bowen, who Leicester wanted in 2020, who is likely to be at the centre of all of the hosts’ attacks.
Defeat for the Foxes could spell the end for Van Nistelrooy, with some fans wanting him sacked, but, a win may provide a small lifeline with 12 games of the season remaining.
Paul Merson and Chris Sutton give Leicester no hope of winning but three points in East London would be the first time the Foxes have managed to do the double over a Premier League side this season.
So, with that, here is everything you need to know ahead of West Ham vs Leicester.

Leicester City team news
Van Nistelrooy confirmed that there was no new injury concerns for the Foxes, but revealed that James Justin could come back into contention.
Justin missed the Brentford loss after picking up an injury against Arsenal but has seemingly recovered.
Ricardo Pereira could also be in the squad but is unlikely to be match fit, meaning Woyo Coulibaly could keep his place in the XI.
Abdul Fatawu is still out injured.
