West Ham preview: Back-to-back victories
West Ham secured all three points at home to struggling Leicester City as most expected in their last league game.
Tomas Soucek, who has been linked with a move away from the London Stadium at the end of the season, fired the Hammers in front in the 21st minute. An own goal from Jannik Vestergaard doubled the home side's advantage just before the break and there were no further goals in the second 45.
Michail Antonio and Crysencio Summerville have been ruled out of Monday's match but Vladimir Coufal, Lucas Paqueta and Niclas Fullkrug are close to making their return to the team.
Predicted lineup: Areola (GK), Cresswell, Wan-Bissaka, Kilman, Todibo, Scarles, Ward-Prowse, Soucek, Alvarez, Kudus & Bowen

Player to watch: Jarrod Bowen
Jarrod Bowen has been West Ham's best player this season, leading the way with goals and assists.
The England international has scored seven goals and provided four assists in the Premier League this season with the 28-year-old scoring four times in his last nine appearances for the club.
Bowen has 11 goal involvements in the Premier League this season
We're backing Bowen to have another good game on Monday night in what should be a close and competitive 90 minutes under the lights at the London Stadium.
