Confirmed West Ham team news against Leicester as David Moyes makes Kurt Zouma decision

Kurt Zouma has retained his place in the West Ham team with David Moyes electing to start the defender despite the ongoing RSPCA and police investigation.

Zouma's inclusion means there is just one change from the Hammers team that took all three points against Watford with Said Benrhama dropping out of the XI.

His place is taken by Manuel Lanzini after the Argentine changed the game when he came on against the Hornets at the London Stadium.

Lukasz Fabianski is once again in goal and will be hoping to make it back-to-back clean sheets after his fine showing on Tuesday evening with Alphonse Areola on the bench in reserve.

Ahead of the goalkeeper, Zouma will be joined in defence by Craig Dawson, with Aaron Cresswell and Vladimir Coufal flanking the centre-backs.

Declan Rice will once again captain the team partnered by Tomas Soucek in the heart of the Hammers midfield.

Lanzini is the one change to the starting team and the Argentine international will start in his regular No.10 role. His inclusion sees Benrahma drop to the bench with Pablo Fornals starting on the left of a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Bowen will be looking to continue his fine goalscoring form after netting six in his last six and will do so from the right behind lone frontman Michail Antonio.

West Ham XI: Fabianski; Coufal, Dawson, Zouma, Cresswell; Rice, Soucek; Bowen, Lanzini, Fornals; Antonio
