Bet Builder Tips : Our picks for West Ham v Leeds
London Stadium is the venue as West Ham battle Leeds United for maximum points ahead of the penultimate game of the season for both sides.
West Ham v Leeds
This really is a must win game for Leeds Utd, as the Lilywhites find themselves right in a relegation scrap at the bottom of the Premier League.
The earlier fixture was an entertaining 2-2 draw at Elland Road but this time, a win will be crucial for both teams who at the time of writing have not secured safety.
Leeds improve under Allardyce
Leeds come into this one with a decent point against high flying Newcastle Utd.
It was a marked improvement under new manager Sam Allardyce who was impressed with what he saw, telling Sky Sports:
“I’m very, very satisfied with what they’ve done and how they applied themselves. There are lots of areas where we say room for improvement, but we didn’t get dispirited even though we made life extremely difficult for ourselves.”
“We missed a penalty then conceded two but scored to save 2-2.”
There is little doubt that it will be a challenge for Leeds but they could make life tough for West Ham today.
Allardyce continued:
“We have to stick with it and do as much as we can to save our position in the Premier League. That is everyone concerned with Leeds. That is everyone who works at the training ground and everyone in the stadium, it’s imperative we stay in this league.”
Hammers in poor form
As four West Ham, its now four defeats in their last five games for David Moyes side.
The Hammers are pretty much safe with six points difference between themselves and their opponents today.
