Having won 1-0 at Arsenal on Saturday, West Ham will seek to build on the best result of their season so far when they host a Leicester City side five points from safety on Thursday (8pm GMT).
The Hammers could move level on points with 13th-placed Tottenham with another victory, while Leicester are chasing Wolves but have lost their last four matches in all competitions, scoring once across those contests.
Their only win in their last 12 top-flight matches was at Spurs on January 26, and Foxes manager Ruud van Nistelrooy is the odds-on favourite with bookmakers to be the next Premier League manager to leave their post.
