David Moyes and Brendan Rodgers typically go for similar formations, 4-2-3-1, and the bulk of the action should take place in midfield. 

West Ham are playing their first match at home in front of a capacity crowd at London Stadium, which should prove a boost for the players. Striker Michail Antonio and winger Said Benrahma both notched goals against Newcastle and will seek to attack again. 

Leicester City have their own scoring threats in Jamie Vardy, Ayoze Pérez and James Maddison, though the latter's availability is uncertain after he was subbed out last weekend due to a back injury. And the Foxes will still be missing full-back Ryan Bertrand, who tested positive for COVID-19 and wasn't present against Wolves.

How to watch the West Ham United vs Leicester City live stream wherever you are

The West Ham United vs Leicester City live stream will be shown on many different channels across the world, but what if you're not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual service?

The answer is to use a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN will let you tune into your home coverage from wherever you are — meaning that if you're abroad, you can use one of the best VPN services to watch the games live as if you were in your lounge.

Our favorite right now is ExpressVPN, thanks to its combination of superb speed, great customer service and excellent device support. It also offers a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you could check it out without having to sign up long term.

Speed, security and simplicity combine to make ExpressVPN our favorite VPN service. In our testing, we were impressed by its fast connection times and by its ability to access more than 3,000 services in 160 locations across 94 countries. A 30-day money-back guarantee is another bonus.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to NBC, Peacock or another service and watch the game.
