West Ham United vs Leeds United – Match preview and team news | OneFootball

West Ham United host Leeds United on Sunday afternoon, needing a miracle to avoid Premier League relegation.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side must win to stand any chance of survival. They currently sit two points behind Tottenham Hotspur ahead of kickoff. The Hammers rely entirely on Spurs losing to Everton, as Tottenham boast a vastly superior goal difference.

Meanwhile, Leeds United arrive in the capital hoping to finish a fantastic campaign by reaching the 50-point mark. Daniel Farke’s newly promoted side have already secured safety and remain unbeaten in eight league games. A victory could see them climb to 11th place to cap an incredibly successful top-flight return.

West Ham United vs Leeds United – Match preview and team news

Team news

West Ham United

Nuno confirmed that winger Adama Traore remains his only significant injury concern. The powerful attacker missed the recent defeat against Newcastle with a frustrating muscle problem. Nuno heavily praised club captain Jarrod Bowen following his shock exclusion from the England squad. The forward has provided 10 league assists this term to equal an impressive club record.

Leeds United

Daniel Farke hopes Pascal Struijk and Jayden Bogle return after recovering from hip and hamstring injuries. However, Anton Stach misses out after suffering a minor foot injury requiring stitches. Sean Longstaff remains unavailable after undergoing recent hernia surgery. Noah Okafor, Gabriel Gudmundsson, and Ilia Gruev also sit out the season finale through injury.

Form

West Ham United

West Ham enter the contest having suffered three consecutive Premier League defeats. They recently lost 3-1 against Newcastle United following a disorganised defensive performance. The Hammers have taken just four points from their last 15 available during a miserable run-in. However, they boast an excellent record in final-day home matches. They have lost just one of their last 19 final-day league fixtures played at home.

Leeds United

Leeds travel to London, enjoying their best spell of Premier League form since 2001. They remain unbeaten in their last eight matches, winning four times during that excellent sequence. Dominic Calvert-Lewin recently scored a 96th-minute winner to secure a dramatic 1-0 victory over Brighton. The striker aims to score his 15th league goal of the campaign today. The Whites hope to complete their first Premier League double over West Ham since 2002-03.

Predicted lineups

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