Latest Leicester City vs West Ham team news
Leicester City's defense is in trouble as Caleb Okoli suffered an early injury after a collision with goalkeeper Mads Hermansen while trying to prevent Wissa from scoring for Brentford. Okoli's condition is still unclear, but manager Ruud van Nistelrooy is expected to replace him with Jannik Vestergaard.
However, the team is still without Abdul Fatawu (anterior cruciate ligament injury), Harry Winks (groin), Ricardo Pereira (thigh), and Jakub Stolarczyk (ankle). Interim manager Dawson's decision to use a three-centre-back formation against Brentford proved ineffective, and Van Nistelrooy may revert to his preferred four-man defense.
On the West Ham side, Julen Lopetegui welcomes the return of Mohammed Kudus after a five-match suspension. The Ghanaian midfielder could start immediately, while Crysencio Summerville, who was substituted in the defeat against Arsenal, could make way for Kudus. Niclas Fullkrug (calf) still has a small chance of recovering in time for the Leicester game. Jean-Clair Todibo has returned from injury and played in the derby last weekend, but Dinos Mavropanos is absent due to illness and his availability is uncertain.

Latest football match prediction: Leicester City vs West Ham
From the stands, alongside Chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, Van Nistelrooy – who was confirmed to replace Steve Cooper on a three-year contract on Friday – watched Leicester lose a one-goal advantage to Brentford at Gtech Community Stadium.
Facundo Buonanotte scored his fourth goal of the season, momentarily silencing the Brentford fans, but the home side quickly counter-attacked with a hat-trick from Kevin Schade, securing the victory.
The defeat under Ben Dawson was Leicester's third consecutive loss, following defeats to Chelsea and Manchester United, leaving them in 16th place. Leicester are now just one point above the three teams below them with a third of the season already underway. With his outstanding attacking talent throughout his playing career, Van Nistelrooy needs to prioritize improving Leicester's weak defense, which has conceded at least three goals in their last four games.
Meanwhile, West Ham avoided a humiliating defeat against Arsenal after last season's 0-6 loss. Despite Arsenal leading 4-0 after 36 minutes, West Ham scored two quick goals through Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Emerson Palmieri, but hopes of a comeback were dashed when Bukayo Saka converted a penalty. The first half saw a record seven goals, but the second half was goalless. This defeat ended West Ham's unbeaten run, leaving them 14th in the table, just a short distance from the relegation zone. Manager Julen Lopetegui is under immense pressure.
