The Hammers will have to be 100 per cent on it tonight if we are to have any chance of beating the Whites.

A win will see David Moyes’s side move back inside the top five, with Chelsea playing host to Everton in the early kick off.

Marcelo Bielsa’s men will represent a very stern test for the East London outfit, however.

West Ham were far too good for Leeds at Elland Road earlier in the season. The Hammers 2-1 win actually ended up flattering the Whites.

Another 2-1 win would do us just fine tonight that’s for sure!

Cresswell spoke to WHUFC.com and highlighted how Leeds’ man-marking system could leave plenty of space to be exploited:

“They go 1v1 all over the pitch and that leaves space and when the ball breaks down, the counter-attack is on.”

With Manchester United away next for West Ham, three points against Leeds tonight is an absolute must.

After Man United we then play host to Arsenal just before the international break.

Our next three games will undoubtedly end up defining our season.n Let’s hope the boys are on it tonight and they can cause Leeds all sorts of problems.
