Leeds United vs West Ham United - prediction, preview & team news - Make Betting

West Ham United travel to Elland Road to face Leeds United in the Premier League on Friday night. Both teams are looking to bounce back from losses suffered last weekend to top-six opposition.

The home side, who are in 14th place, head into the contest at Elland Road sitting just three points adrift of their opponents.

West Ham should have been out of sight by the time Manchester United began their comeback with a wonder goal from Paul Pogba. Eventually, the Red Devils overpowered the Hammers in the final quarter of the game to win 3-1 at the London Stadium.

Leeds also took an early lead against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, with Kalvin Phillips setting up an excellent goal from Patrick Bamford. However, Chelsea came back to win that game 3-1 as well.

The Hammers have won three and lost just one of their last four games, although the defeat came in their latest encounter, against Manchester United last weekend.

The last time Leeds and West Ham met was in the Championship in 2012, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw at Elland Road.
