West Ham United come into the match having recorded a good 2-0 home victory over Norwich City on Wednesday night in the Premier League. The Hammers were forced to wait until the 42nd minute to open the scoring and secured maximum points with a second goal 7 minutes from time.
That victory means West Ham United have won their last 4 games in all competitions. In addition to a 2-0 win at home over Leeds United in the FA Cup, The Hammers have defeated Watford and Crystal Palace away from home in the Premier League.
It marks a return to form for West Ham United following some poor results.
Home form in the Premier League shows West Ham United are undefeated in 5 of their last 6 matches. They have defeated Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Norwich City at home, 3 of which are excellent results.
Trends show West Ham United have scored 2 or more goals in 4 of their last 5 home Premier League matches.
Leeds United make the trip to London having previously lost 2-0 against West Ham United in the FA Cup last weekend. Therefore, it is a familiar journey for the club but they will be hoping for a better result this time.
The defeat in the FA Cup means Leeds United have recorded only one victory from their last 6 games in all competitions.
Their form in the Premier League shows just one win from their 5 most recent games. Leeds United defeated Burnley 3-1 at home but lost each of their previous 3 league matches.
Away form in the Premier League shows Leeds United have failed to win any of their last 4 fixtures, losing at Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, and Manchester City.
Trends show in their last 12 away games in all competitions, Leeds United have recorded only 1 win. They have failed to score a goal in 2 of their last 3 away Premier League matches.
Team news and West Ham United are without Saïd Benrahma, who is at the Africa Cup of Nations. Tomáš Souček and Ryan Fredericks have COVID-19 while Mark Noble and Angelo Ogbonna are injured.
Leeds United are without the suspended duo of Diego Llorente and Tyler Roberts. Joe Gelhardt, Charlie Cresswell, Pascal Struijk, Liam Cooper, and Kalvin Phillips are injured. There are also doubts over the fitness of Júnior Firpo and Jamie Shackleton.
West Ham United are back in from and they will be confident of taking maximum points against a team they beat last weekend in the FA Cup. We expect to see a similar outcome in this game and for The Hammers to take maximum points and keep a clean sheet.
