Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how West Ham United could line up for Sunday's Premier League clash with Leicester City.

West Ham United will be looking to claim successive Premier League victories and stay in the top four when they host Leicester City at the London Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The Hammers are set to be without striker Michail Antonio, who was forced off with a hamstring problem after 36 minutes in the victory at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday.

The 31-year-old is still being assessed by club medics who are seeking further clarity after initial scans and they will be hoping that the injury is not as serious as first feared.

Jarrod Bowen, who scored against Wolves after replacing Antonio, is set to lead the line if the latter is not fit to feature.

Another major blow for David Moyes is the loss of midfielder Declan Rice, who is ruled out for around four to six weeks having torn the lateral ligament of his right knee.

Club captain Mark Noble is expected to keep his place in central midfield alongside top goalscorer Tomas Soucek as a result.

Defender Angelo Ogbonna (ankle), winger Andriy Yarmolenko (knee) and goalkeeper Darren Randolph (groin) all remain unavailable for selection through injury.

Attacking midfielder Jesse Lingard is set to keep his place in the starting lineup this weekend. Since his Premier League debut for the Hammers in February, no player has been involved in more goals in the competition than the Manchester United loanee, who has recorded six goals and three assists in nine appearances.

West Ham possible starting XI: Fabianski; Coufal, Dawson, Diop, Cresswell; Noble, Soucek; Fornals, Lingard, Masuaku; Bowen
