90'
FULL TIME
The referee puts us out of our misery. It has not been a classic by any stretch of the imagination, but West Ham won't care. They have all but secured their Premier League status - they are six points clear of the drop zone with two games to go. Goals from Joao Mario and Mark Noble have done the business against a very poor Leicester side who have offered nothing. Leicester City 0 - 2 West Ham United.
90'
ELSEWHERE
Look away now if you're avoiding other scores...but West Brom have just taken a 92nd minute lead against Spurs. Is the great escape on? Could it possibly be?
90'
GAME NEARLY OVER
Just blow the whistle already ref! There's nothing left to play for.
90'
ADDED TIME
Five minutes are added on. I'm not sure that anyone wants that - the players or the fans.
90'
Substitution
Patrice Evra (on). Arthur Masuaku (off). (West Ham United)
88'
CLOSE
Leicester nearly force a way through but Kelechi Iheanacho's toe-poke rolls wide. The Leicester fans are leaving in numbers, despite the fact the players are doing a lap of honour at the end of the game.
86'
APPLAUSE
Adrien Silva draws ironic applause from the crowd as he has Leicester's first shot on target of the game - a low effort which Adrian gathers easily.
83'
BORED
The home fans are looking bored - their side have given them very little to get excited about today. I imagine the anti-Claude Puel voices will be a little louder this evening.
80'
BACK TO THE ACTION
With injured players and pitch invaders finally cleared away, the game is back underway.
79'
Substitution
Edimilson Fernandes (on). Marko Arnautovic (off). (West Ham United)
79'
CHAOS
Edimilson Fernandes replaces Marko Arnautovic, before a pitch invader joins the action before being tackled by security.
8'
LUCKY
Ben Hamer gets lucky here - he and Marko Arnautovic chase down a loose ball and the keeper can't control it. Fortunately he is able to recover and pounce on the ball.
78'
INJURY
Marko Arnautovic is down and receiving treatment on his ankle. I think his afternoon is over.
75'
Substitution
Andy Carroll (on). Manuel Lanzini (off). (West Ham United)
75'
CONFUSION
There's some confusion here - Marko Arnautovic is down on his haunches and looks knackered. Andy Carroll warms up, strips off and replaces...Manuel Lanzini. Even Lanzini points at Arnautovic and questions the change.
72'
NICE
Pablo Zabaleta rolls back the years, pulling off stepover after stepover on his way into the box before Harry Maguire deflects his shot over.
71'
APPEAL
Mark Noble goes down in the box and appeals for a penalty, but the referee says no way.
68'
NOT UP FOR IT
Leicester have not looked like getting back into this one. Claude Puel is not a happy man.
64'
Goal
Mark Noble (West Ham United)
64'
Yellow Card
Aleksandar Dragovic (Leicester City)
61'
Substitution
Demarai Gray (on). Fousseni Diabate (off). (Leicester City)
61'
Substitution
Kelechi Iheanacho (on). Hamza Choudhury (off). (Leicester City)
60'
LEICESTER CHANGE
Hamza Choudhury leaves the field with Kelechi Iheanacho taking his place, as Demarai Gray comes on for Fousseni Diabate.
58'
UNIMPRESSED
Marko Arnautovic makes some space in the box and waits for the ball, but Arthur Masuaku's cross sails well out of play.
56'
CHANGE SOMETHING
Both sides could do with making a change - this game really isn't going anywhere as it stands.
52'
POOR
Neither side can make the ball stick! Christian Fuchs tries a cross-field ball which cannons off the back of Adrien Silva and out of play.
51'
REPLAY
On second viewing, it looks as if Aaron Cresswell got the slightest of shoves in the back from Jamie Vardy and it was that which caused him to go down. He still shouldn't have handled it though.
49'
Yellow Card
Aaron Cresswell (West Ham United)
49'
CONTROVERSY
Well well well, what's happening here? Aaron Cresswell and Jamie Vardy chase down a long ball before the West Ham man hits the deck. He reaches out to grab the ball and both Vardy and the Leicester fans immediately appeal for a red card as Cresswell is the last man. The referee takes a long time to think before producing a yellow.
5'
NOT MUCH TO REPORT
It's a bit of a nervy start from both sides in the sunshine. The fans are in good voice but there's been little action on the pitch.
48'
WRONG MAN
A long West Ham throw falls to Angelo Ogbonna in the area, who lashes a shot against the mass of bodies in front of him.
46'
Substitution
Aleksandar Dragovic (on). Vicente Iborra (off). (Leicester City)
46'
KICK OFF
Leicester start the second period, kicking from right to left. Aleksandar Dragovic is on for Vicente Iborra and it looks as if they will be going to a three at the back system.
43'
SIDE-NETTING
Manuel Lanzini tricks his way into the box and flashes in a shot, which hits the side-netting.
41'
Yellow Card
Marko Arnautovic (West Ham United)
34'
Goal
Joao Mario. Assist by Marko Arnautovic (West Ham United)
34'
WELL WORKED
Arthur Masuaku makes a surging run down the left with no challenge in sight and sends in a curling cross. It looks to be sailing out of play before Marko Arnautovic brings it down and cuts it back for Joao Mario to poke home. The visiting fans are delighted. Leicester City 0 - 1 West Ham United.
34'
GOOOOAAAALLL
WEST HAM ARE AHEAD!
45'
ADDED TIME
One minute is added on.
45'
HALF TIME
That's the half. Marko Arnautovic's goal separates the two sides. Leicester City 0 - 1 West Ham United.
33'
OFF THE BAR!
Marko Arnautovic nearly puts West Ham ahead! The free kick bounces into the box and the Austian hits it on the volley, only for it to rebound off the bar.
32'
APPEAL
Wes Morgan catches Marko Arnautovic in the face with a high boot. The West Ham man wants a free kick and a booking, but he only gets the former.
30'
SIGH
We're a third of the way through the game and we are yet to have a shot on target.
28'
FRUSTRATION
Both sets of fans are starting to get frustrated - the Leicester fans don't like the perceived lack of effort from their players, while the West Ham fans want to see Andy Carroll who would offer them something different.
25'
QUIET
This game really does feel like an end-of-season affair. The Leicester players are strolling around, the West Ham players can't find their rhythm.
21'
CAUTIOUS
I think the best word to describe this opening is 'caution'. West Ham are looking brighter but not by much, and there haven't been any real chances.
18'
FRUSTRATION
Leicester break following a West Ham corner and Jamie Vardy runs at the Hammers defence. He looks left and right and sees no support whatsover, and he has to go all the way back to Yohan Benalouane.
14'
OFFSIDE
West Ham are the side in control here. Marko Arnautovic looks very frustrated as he moves a fraction early to get on the end of a Arthur Masuaku long ball.
11'
EFFORT
Manuel Lanzini tries a piledriver from distance but Marko Arnautovic gets himself in the way to concede a goal kick.
1'
KICK OFF
The game is underway here in the Midlands.
0'
MAN IN THE MIDDLE
Chris Kavanagh from Lancashire is today's referee. One of the Premier League's newer officials, he has shown 93 yellow cards and four reds across 27 games so far this season. Leicester have earned 10 of those yellows and one red in four games under his watch, with West Ham earning one yellow and one red in just one game.
0'
FORM GUIDE
The form book doesn't look good for either side, who have each only secured one win in their last six - Leicester have lost four and drawn the other one, with West Ham drawing two and losing three. The hosts have scored five goals and conceded eleven, compared to their visitors who have scored seven but let in 13.

WEST HAM TEAM NEWS
West Ham also got stuffed last week, but theirs was at the hands of runaway leaders Manchester City. Aaron Cresswell moves back into defence with Arthur Masuaku and Joao Mario replacing Patrice Evra and Edimilson Fernandes.

LEICESTER TEAM NEWS
It's fair to say that Leicester got stuffed last week by Crystal Palace, and Claude Puel has made a few changes in response. Yohan Benalouane is in for the suspended Marc Albrighton, with Adrien Silva and Vicente Iborra into midfield for Demarai Gray and Wilfried Ndidi. Fousseni Diabate takes an attacking slot from Kelechi Iheanacho.
0'
PREVIEW
Even with the news that Stoke have now been relegated following their loss to Crystal Palace, West Ham aren't safe from the drop themselves, and this game is therefore a must-win for the East London side. Leicester, on the other hand, are safe from the drop, but there are rumblings of discontent about manager Claude Puel and a defeat here, coupled with results elsewhere, could see them drop out of the top half. Both sides will want to win here - my name is Peter Moloney and I will talk you through the action.
63'
MAKERS OF THEIR OWN DOWNFALL
Leicester are the makers of their own downfall here. Aleksandar Dragovic concedes a free kick, earning a yellow card, which Joao Mario curls into the box. The ball is cleared as far as Mark Noble who lashes it home. You'd have to say that the Hammers are safe now. Leicester City 0 - 2 West Ham United.
63'
GOOOOOOOAAAAALLLLL
MARK NOBLE SCORES A SECOND FOR WEST HAM!!
39'
HALF CHANCE
Fousseni Diabate beats his man and flashes a half-chance across the face of goal, and the home fans really appreciate seeing someone actually make something happen.
39'
BACK TO TYPE
Well, that goal was exciting wasn't it? It's a shame that nothing else of note has happened since then.
