- The 4:30pm kick-off is an opportunity for the Foxes to get back to winning ways
- Ademola Lookman says he is looking forward to the challenge of facing the Hammers
- City fell to a 2-0 defeat by Liverpool at Anfield on Thursday evening

A first home Premier League outing since 23 January sees David Moyes' Hammers visit Filbert Way for a 4:30pm kick-off on Sunday. The Foxes will be looking to secure a morale-boosting victory after a frustrating run of form over recent weeks.

Lookman, who featured for City in a 2-0 reverse at Liverpool on Thursday, spoke to LCFC TV at full-time on Merseyside to preview that encounter with the east London outfit. The on-loan winger pointed to some of the attacking threats in West Ham's squad and outlined what Leicester need to do.

"It's another tough test for us," the No.37 said. "Obviously, they're doing very well with their results at the moment and we'll look forward to playing them and battling it out for the three points. Obviously, they won in the first fixture and we'll look to get the win in the next fixture. 

It's about us stopping that threat and also showing our quality in the right moments in the game on Sunday.

"Their attacking threat is very good. With the likes of [Michail] Antonio and [Jarrod] Bowen up front, they're doing very well this season. It's about us stopping that threat and also showing our quality in the right moments in the game on Sunday."

Despite naturally being disappointed by the result at Anfield in midweek, Lookman can see positives in their performance against Jürgen Klopp's side.

"I look forward to every single game, whether it's in the Premier League, or whatever competition it is," the former Everton man added. "I'm just looking forward to playing games. 

"There's a lot of positives to take from [the Liverpool game]. Obviously we'll take that into Sunday's game and look to win. Especially, to play in front of our fans and get the support from them, it's what we need."
