West Ham will hope that victory at the Emirates Stadium can inspire another three points against Leicester, whose struggles have seen them lose their last four matches across all competitions since a shock 2-1 win away at Tottenham on January 26.
“The opponent has always got something to fight for, always got something to prove, always got some quality against you.
West Ham duo Lucas Paqueta and Vladimir Coufal have not recovered from injury in time for Thursday’s match against Leicester.
“In the Premier League, every game is complicated and every game is tough,” said Potter, who remains without Michail Antonio, Niclas Fullkrug and Crysencio Summerville.
Brazilian playmaker Paqueta has been sidelined since sustaining an ankle injury during training last week and missed Saturday’s 1-0 win at Arsenal.
