West Ham have won four in a row in all competitions after beating Norwich 2-0 on Wednesday night. This is their second home game against Leeds in a week after knocking them out of the FA Cup last weekend. Leeds have lost four of their last five and even their last away win was against Norwich back in October. With many of West Ham's rivals for fourth playing each other or in tough fixtures, this goes down as a great opportunity for David Moyes' side. 3:1
Vladimir Coufal and Aaron Cresswell both returned from injury in West Ham's 2-0 win over Norwich in midweek. That was Cresswell's first appearance since the end of November. Kurt Zouma is targetting a return against Manchester United later this month but Angelo Ogbonna is out for the season and Said Benrahma is away at AFCON. Tomas Soucek missed the 2-0 win in midweek with COVID and is unlikely to return against Leeds on Sunday. Alex Kral or Mark Noble are options if David Moyes wants a bit more protection in alongside Declan Rice. Marcelo Bielsa has revealed he hopes to welcome back Patrick Bamford, Rodrigo and Pascal Struijk this weekend. Junior Firpo will need to be assessed after taking a blow to the head in the FA Cup defeat to West Ham last weekend. Tyler Roberts is suspended for Sunday's trip to the London Stadium, though is injured anyway, so Bielsa will hope Bamford is fit to start. Diego Llorente is also banned for the away side, which makes Struijk's potential return timely.
