Player to watch: Jarrod Bowen
Jarrod Bowen scored the only goal in West Ham United's win at Arsenal last weekend. He has put in some solid performances in recent weeks, scoring four times and providing one assist in his last eight appearances. Interestingly, Bowen leads his team in both goals and assists in the Premier League this season. He will fancy his chances against Leicester.
