Second:Leeds United Fearless at Home Against the Hammers, Both Teams Fighting to Avoid RelegationThis Premier League season’s relegation battle differs from the last two seasons where three promoted teams went down. This year, the promoted sides are strong, making the relegation fight more unpredictable. Leeds United vs West Ham United might be an early relegation showdown, a crucial points battle between survival rivals. Nuno’s departure from Nottingham Forest to manage West Ham has been damaging for both; both clubs remain trapped in the relegation zone. Leeds, playing at home, are eager to secure all three points and leverage home advantage, while West Ham’s morale is low with no sign of recovery, and Nuno’s job is under threat. Therefore, Leeds are favored to win at home and claim vital points on their path to survival.

In their last 6 meetings, Leeds have 1 win, 1 draw, and 4 losses, trailing behind West Ham.

Injury and Suspension Updates: Leeds haveAmpadu, Nketiah, Struijk, Okafor (doubtful); West Ham havePhilkrug, Mavropanos, Elsi.
