The Foxes made it three wins from three matches this season with a 5-2 thumping of Manchester City at Etihad Stadium to move top of the league standings. Jamie Vardy netted a hat-trick for the visitors as he moved up to five goals for the campaign.
Head coach Brendan Rodgers labelled his team's win as "special" as they now switch focus to the Hammers.

“It was a really special performance and result,” Rodgers told LCFC TV. “I think we've seen Manchester City against Wolves and how well they played in their last game, but I thought we were outstanding in our game.
“Obviously, our idea was to deny them a bit more space. Maybe I normally set my teams up to play, but I knew then we'd still have the big pace on the counter-attack, and have the quality.
“So yes, I thought tactically the players were very disciplined. They showed a great mentality coming from behind. [Riyad] Mahrez scored a really good goal, but we stayed calm.
“You have to go right to the very end,” he added. “You're never going to have it all your own way. But we have that mentality. That's our culture. It's our environment."
West Ham bounced back from back-to-back defeats with a 4-0 win over Wolves at London Stadium. Jarrod Bowen scored a brace in what the forward described as the "perfect performance".

Leicester beat West Ham 4-1 in the corresponding fixture last season thanks in large part to a brace from Ayoze Perez.
