The Hammers travel to Elland Road tonight to take on the Whites and it will be an incredibly hard test for us.

Marcelo Bielsa has worked wonders since taking over at Leeds.

David Moyes has done the same at West Ham, but the Argentine is on another level to the Scot. He has transformed the west Yorkshire outfit with his exciting, attacking and quite simply swashbuckling footballing philosophy.

Bielsa has transcended Leeds. And whilst David Moyes has done a sterling job at the London Stadium, he is probably not the kind of manager who will take us to the promised land. But then again, what manager could under the current ownership?

Moyes spoke to reporters yesterday, and was effusive in his praise for Leeds as a football club, as quoted by Football.London:

“They have been very good, Leeds. We have all been watching them closely for the last year or two and I always thought that Leeds coming back to the Premier League would add to the division and that is certainly the case. I think they have been involved in some very good games. Their style is terrific to watch and there is a lot to like about it. They have got an incredibly experienced manager and has got a good group of players in.”

It should be an enthralling game of football at Elland Road tonight.

Leeds will undoubtedly have the lion’s share of possession but West Ham will look to hit them on the counter and hurt Bielsa’s men from set-pieces.

David Moyes is clearly a big fan of the way Leeds go about their business. And the Scot will know more than anyone how tough tonight’s game will be for the Hammers.
