Jones Knows prediction...
Leicester are gone, aren't they?
Structurally they are bad anyway under Ruud van Nistelrooy but when you add in a lack of confidence and conviction to everything they do, the manager doesn't stand a chance. The ease at which Brentford created big opportunities against them in central areas was staggering.
Yoane Wissa continued the theme of centre-forwards managing to find the net against the Foxes.
Jean-Philippe Mateta (3), Beto (2), Chris Wood (2), Mikel Merino (2), Kai Havertz, Erling Haaland, Nicholas Jackson and Jhon Duran have all found the net against the strugglers. With Jarrod Bowen, fresh from his winning goal at Arsenal, likely to undertake that role again for the Hammers he is a huge runner at 9/2 with Sky Bet to open the scoring.
SCORE PREDICTION: 3-0
Hammers unchanged | Leicester swap three
Unsurprisingly, West Ham are unchanged from the side that edged out Arsenal at the Emirates. Young Oliver Scarles, who was very impressive in midfield, retains his place ahead of Carlos Soler - stationed on the Hammers bench.
As for Leicester, it's three changes from the weekend's shambles against Brentford. Predictably two are defensive. In come James Justin and Jannik Vestergaard. Facundo Buonanotte is also preferred to Jordan Ayew.

Can West Ham finish the season strongly?
Sky Sports' Oliver Yew at the London Stadium:
"It feels like a big night for West Ham.
"The win against Arsenal at the weekend was impressive. Mightily impressive and the highlight of Graham Potter's short reign at the London Stadium so far.
"But it will matter little if they can't follow it up with victory over struggling Leicester, who are on a run of four straight defeats in all competitions.
"16th place in the league isn't what is expected in these parts, but that's the reality. However, they will be hoping a strong finish to the season can help act as a springboard for next season."
Last time out: Leicester...
Last time out: West Ham...
Hello!
The final offering of Gameweek 28 is West Ham vs Leicester! A chance for the Hammers to seek revenge for the 3-1 reverse against the Foxes back in December...
Graham Potter's side ended a four-match winless run by springing a surprise on second-placed Arsenal at the weekend, condemning the Gunners to their first top-flight home defeat of the season. Something to build on.
To contrast, since steering Leicester to that victory over West Ham in his first game in charge, Ruud van Nistelrooy has suffered 10 Premier League defeats in 12. Yikes.
They look pretty doomed in the relegation stakes but a win here could change things. Let's get stuck in.
Justin could return for Leicester
Ruud van Nistelrooy is hoping to bring back defender James Justin who was forced off with an injury against Arsenal and missed the Brentford loss.
Woyo Coulibaly comes back into the squad but Ricardo Pereira remains sidelined with a hamstring strain.
Van Nistelrooy added: “We’re doing everything we can to get him ready for Thursday. He’s still a work in progress but we’re doing everything we can.”
Van Nistelrooy relishing Leicester challenge
Ruud van Nistelrooy insists he is continuing to relish the challenge of leading Leicester on an increasingly improbable journey to Premier League survival.
He believes his players are ready to bounce back after a 4-0 defeat to Brentford and begin their climb towards safety when they travel to West Ham on Thursday.
Van Nistelrooy told a press conference: “The mood is lifted – it’s started again in a new week and with a new challenge.
“We have reacted after a bad result and performance before. The players reacted really well and they have started the week really well.
“I called it a mountain to climb but life is about climbing mountains, and mountains are there to be climbed. We will keep climbing and we slip sometimes – but we get up and start again.”
Paqueta, Coufal to miss out for West Ham
West Ham will once again be without Lucas Paqueta when they host Leicester with an ankle injury.
Vladimir Coufal will also miss out on Thursday with a thigh problem.
“Both are progressing, but both won’t make the squad on Thursday, but they’re making progress,” said Potter.
“Vladi certainly has a chance for Newcastle next Monday. With Lucas, we’ll just have to see how he responds, but certainly for Leicester, no.”
The Hammers have the chance to win back-to-back Premier League matches for the first time since March - some three managers ago.
They have also lost their last two home matches, against Crystal Palace and Brentford.
“We understand you have to get results,” added Potter. “I know you have to do that, and it’s about how you do that.
“Your daily work is what you can control, and what has the impact. It can take a bit of time, but the performance and result at the weekend gives us confidence.
“We haven’t cracked it yet, but we’ve got belief and we’ll keep working.
“We have to have humility and a respect for the opponent, which we have, but we need everything like every other game.
“Every team wants to do well in front of their own supporters. It’s not that straightforward, but we want to do better in front of our fans."
