Leicester City manager Dean Smith has delivered mixed news on the team selection front ahead of his side's match at home to West Ham United.
Leeds United are hoping the Hammers can do them a favour in the battle to avoid relegation to the Championship. Sam Allardyce's men start the day in 19th and need results to go their way if they are to maintain their Premier League status.
Not only do Leeds need to beat Tottenham at Elland Road, but need Leicester and Everton to lose their games.

It's not known how competitive West Ham will be at the King Power Stadium on Sunday afternoon. David Moyes' side have nothing to play for in the table, other than the possibility of climbing one place from 14th to 13th and could well have one eye on their upcoming Europa Conference League final with Fiorentina.
Leicester are level with Leeds on 31 points, but sit above them in the final relegation place on goal difference.
City have doubts over some members of their squad. Manager Dean Smith has confirmed that defender Caglar Soyuncu will not be available, while Smith was able to issue an update on Kelechi Iheanacho, Jonny Evans and Wilfred Ndidi, who were all taken off against Newcastle.
Ricardo Pereira also missed the game through injury but a scan this week has brought good news.
"Iheanacho is fine, Jonny Evans had cramp, he’s fine,” Smith told Leeds Live's sister site Leicestershire Live. “Ricky, we scanned him and he’s fine. Wilf is the only question mark at the moment, we’re still waiting to see if he can train tomorrow [Saturday]. He hasn’t trained yet.
Meanwhile, midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is available. The midfielder has missed the last two Premier League games with an ankle injury but has been back in training this week.
