West Ham United vs Leeds United – Predicted lineup and team news

West Ham United welcome Leeds United to the London Stadium, facing an incredibly tense Premier League finale.

The Hammers sit 18th in the table, two points behind Tottenham Hotspur. Nuno Espirito Santo’s team must secure victory and pray Tottenham lose to Everton to avoid relegation. A draw will not suffice due to Spurs’ vastly superior goal difference.

West Ham have endured a miserable run-in, suffering three consecutive league defeats. They desperately need a positive result to avoid dropping into the Championship for the first time since 2012. The East London club have lost only one of their last seven home league matches.

West Ham team news

Nuno confirmed he boasts an almost fully fit squad for this vital relegation showdown. Powerful winger Adama Traore remains the only major absentee due to an ongoing muscle problem. The manager may abandon his recent back-five system following a dismal defensive showing against Newcastle. That tactical switch could see Jean-Clair Todibo drop to the substitutes’ bench.

Pablo or Soungoutou Magassa could earn starts further forward in a more traditional 4-2-3-1 setup. Valentin Castellanos expects to replace Callum Wilson up front after scoring a stunning consolation goal last weekend.

Former Leeds winger Crysencio Summerville hopes to replicate his impressive dribbling performance from the Newcastle defeat. Club captain Jarrod Bowen will provide vital support after assisting eight of West Ham’s last 12 league goals.

West Ham predicted lineup

West Ham predicted XI: Hermansen; Wan-Bissaka, Disasi, Mavropanos, Diouf; Soucek, Fernandes; Bowen, Pablo, Summerville; Castellanos.
