Leeds are looking for their first win of the season when West Ham come to town.

And David Moyes’s side are looking to get back to winning ways in the Premier League following two draws and that agonisingly harsh last gasp defeat to Man United last time out.

Joy to visit a packed Elland Road after dark 18 months without fans

Leeds vs West Ham is always a feisty, entertaining clash on the pitch and between the fans on the terraces.

It has been a joy to see football fans back at matches this season following a dark 18 months during the pandemic.

Thousands of West Ham fans packed out the Old Trafford away section on Wednesday night for a famous cup win.

And they will do the same again at Elland Road – which will be in full voice as the Leeds fans crave that first win of the campaign.

Bielsa reveals Leeds will be missing key trio and potentially more while Moyes has right-back worries

West Ham could go fifth in the fledgling table with a win.

Leeds are one place above the bottom three and will be looking to avoid the negative press that goes with dropping into the relegation places.

Marcelo Biesla will have a patched up side after admitting Patrick Bamford and up to six other Leeds stars could be unavailable.

West Ham have more or less a full squad available but do have potential issues in the right-back area with Ryan Fredericks out injured and David Moyes revealing Vladimir Coufal has been struggling with his groin.
