18th placed Leeds United desperately need to get something from this match. They travel to West Ham United who are 15th in the Premier League and all but safe from relegation. Leeds begin the weekend with two games to play and a point from safety. Everton are the side they need to catch and Leeds will be hoping they don't do well against Wolves the day before this match. Nottingham Forest losing to Arsenal would be a boost too. A win for Everton and Forest earning at least a point would mean defeat for Leeds here will send them back to the Championship. They come into this penultimate fixture of the season with just two points from their last seven league games. One of those came in their last match when coming from behind to draw at home with Newcastle United. They did lead in that match though and both of Newcastle' s goals came from the penalty spot. Away form is poor and the last four on the road have all been lost with 12 goals conceded. They do keep scoring in away games though with the last five all seeing them on the scoresheet.

West Ham United are six points above the bottom three goals with a much better goal difference than Leeds. The Europa Conference League finalists had an emotional semi-final on Thursday, both on and unfortunately off the pitch. This match comes just three days after the game against AZ and it'll be interesting to see how they react. They have had a strange season with a big struggle in the Premier League but success in Europe. Home form has kept them out of the relegation zone with just over double the amount of points earned than on their travels. Only one of their last four home league games has been won. It's been a tough fixture list though with the visitors including Newcastle United, Liverpool and Arsenal. A bet on both teams to score is our suggested wager here.
