West Ham v Leeds: match preview
West Ham regained fourth place by beating Norwich on Wednesday and will hope to continue their winning run when they host Leeds. They saw them off in the FA Cup last week and Marcelo Bielsa’s side, who are eight points above the bottom three, still have a long injury list. Bielsa will hope Patrick Bamford and Rodrigo are back to lift his side’s attacking threat. West Ham, meanwhile, are sweating on Mark Noble and Tomas Soucek, with Kurt Zouma also pushing for a place on the bench. Jacob Steinberg
