Leeds United are through to the fourth round of the League Cup but they haven’t covered much ground in the Premier League this season. They will be eying their first win in the league this season when they welcome West Ham United on Saturday. Leeds head to this game having managed just three points from the opening five league games, and they are placed 17th. Meanwhile, West Ham United are eighth with as many points. The hosts are coming from a win on post match penalties over Fulham in the League Cup, and in their last game in the league, they drew 1-1 with Newcastle United. While they are famed for their speedy bursts in attack, Leeds haven’t been scoring a lot in recent matches. They’ve failed to hit over one goal in the last four matches and in the last five league games, they’ve scored more than one in just one game – the 2-2 draw with Everton. However, they’ve also failed to score completely in just one of their last five league matches, though they’ve conceded two or more in three of their five league matches. Last season, Leeds lost both league matches against West Ham United.

West Ham United are on a high after the 1-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford in the League Cup. The Hammers have failed to score in just one of their seven matches this season and have lost once in the process. In their last four matches, West Ham United have three clean sheets and they will have an edge in attack with Michail Antonio returning after suspension. As they get back to full strength, West Ham will view this as a chance to bounce back, having gone winless in three league matches. In their last league game, they lost 2-1 at home to Manchester United and will want to bring back the fire that saw them win their opening two league matches. West Ham have conceded twice in three of their last five matches in the league this season and four of the five have produced over 2.5 goals.
