Team News: Two changes for West Ham United against Leicester City

Two changes for West Ham

Slaven Bilic has made two changes as West Ham United host Leicester City this afternoon trying to end their four-game winless run.

Andre Ayew is rewarded for his goal in the loss to Bournemouth last time out, while Sam Byram is promoted from the bench.

They replace Sofiane Feghouli, who is among the substitutes, and captain Mark Noble, who is out with a dead leg. Winston Reid takes the armband in his absence.

Noble's Foxes counterpart Wes Morgan, who picked up an injury in the midweek Champions League victory over Sevilla, is replaced by debutant Yohan Benalouane in Craig Shakespeare's sole change for the visitors, with Kasper Schmeichel deputising as captain.

Nampalys Mendy remains out with a knee injury, while January signing Molla Wague has been ruled out for the rest of the season after making just one appearance.

West Ham United: Randolph; Byram, Fonte, Reid, Cresswell; Kouyate, Obiang; Ayew, Lanzini, Antonio; Carroll Subs: Adrian, Masuaku, Collins, Nordtveit, Fernandes, Feghouli, Snodgrass

Leicester City: Schmeichel; Simpson, Huth, Benalouane, Fuchs; Mahrez, Ndidi, Drinkwater, Albrighton; Okazaki, Vardy Subs: Chilwell, Musa, King, Amartey, Slimani, Zieler, Gray
