West Ham vs Leicester live stream: how to watch Premier League online and on TV from anywhere, team news
Man of the moment James Maddison starts after his international callup
It was all doom and gloom for Leicester a few weeks ago, but three wins from their last four games have catapulted them up the table. West Ham, however, are still struggling, and it's easy to see why. Only three teams have scored fewer goals than the Hammers this season, but only two have conceded more than Leicester. Is today the day Gianluca Scamacca finally finds his shooting boots? Read on to find out how to watch a West Ham vs Leicester live stream from wherever you are.
Michail Antonio, whose recent performances have come in for fierce criticism, is out of the squad entirely with an injury, so the Italian starts up top, ahead of a playmaking trio of Jarrod Bowen, Lucas Paqueta and Said Benrahma, whose substitution was roundly booed last weekend.
The big news for Leicester is that James Maddison starts, days after his widely celebrated recall to the England squad for World Cup 2022. He starts on the right hand side of a four-man midfield, alongside Youri Tielemans, who's been holding his own personal goal of the season competition over recent weeks.

West Ham were jeered by their own fans after losing to Crystal Palace last weekend, before being dumped out of the cup by Championship high-flyers Blackburn Rovers on Wednesday. Moyes fielded a near-full strength side for that one, and though much of the fans' ire has been directed at the Scotsman, his profligate forwards need to start taking some responsibility.
The absence of Antonio is a blow, as he has an excellent record against Leicester, having plundered four in his last four starts against the Foxes. Speaking of misfiring strikers, Brendan Rodgers would have been delighted to see Jamie Vardy find the net for just the second (and then the third) time this season during their midweek win over Newport County.
Vardy has been distinctly off the pace all season, but his quickfire double would have given him a major confidence boost, even if it was against a League Two side. Losing star defender James Justin to a season-ending achilles injury is a bitter blow, however, and both Leicester and England fans will be sweating over Maddison.
It's the last action both clubs will see until Christmas, so follow our guide to get a West Ham vs Leicester live stream and watch the Premier League online from anywhere.
