Match Prediction: Leeds United 2-1 West Ham United

Leeds might fancy their chances here. They've had a mixed bag of results lately, but that win against Wolves shows they can still pack a punch. West Ham, on the other hand, have been struggling to find the net. If Leeds can keep their heads and exploit West Ham's shaky defence, they could come out on top.

But don't write off West Ham just yet. They've got players like Paquetá who can turn a game on its head. If they can sort out their finishing, they might just nick a result. It's all about who wants it more on the day.

Leeds have been up and down recently. That win against Wolves away from home was a real boost, but the losses to Burnley and Fulham show they need to be more consistent. If they can bring the same energy and focus they had against Wolves, they stand a good chance against West Ham.

Their home form has been patchy, with a draw against Bournemouth and a loss to Tottenham. But playing at home can be a big advantage. If they can get the crowd behind them, Leeds might just find the edge they need.

Recent Premier League results:

• Loss: 0-2 vs Burnley (A)

• Loss: 1-2 vs Tottenham Hotspur (H)

• Draw: 2-2 vs AFC Bournemouth (H)

• Win: 3-1 vs Wolverhampton Wanderers (A)

• Loss: 0-1 vs Fulham (A)

West Ham are in a bit of a rut. They've lost four out of their last five, and their defence has been leaking goals. If they don't tighten up at the back, Leeds could exploit their weaknesses. On the flip side, they've got players who can create chances.

That draw against Everton shows they can still compete. But they need to be more clinical in front of goal if they want to turn their form around.

Recent Premier League results:

• Loss: 0-2 vs Brentford (H)

• Loss: 0-2 vs Arsenal (A)

• Draw: 1-1 vs Everton (A)

• Loss: 1-2 vs Crystal Palace (H)

• Loss: 0-3 vs Tottenham Hotspur (H)

Recent clashes between Leeds and West Ham have been tight affairs. West Ham won the last encounter 3-1, but before that, the games were closely contested with a draw and a narrow win for Leeds. It's often a battle, and this one could go either way.

• Predicted lineup: Darlow (GK), Bogle (DF), Struijk (DF), Rodon (DF), Gudmundsson (DF), Ampadu (MF), Longstaff (MF), Stach (MF), Aaronson (AT), Calvert-Lewin (AT), Harrison (AT)

Leeds will look to exploit their attacking options with Aaronson and Calvert-Lewin in attack. The midfield trio of Ampadu, Longstaff, and Stach will need to control the game and provide the necessary support.

• Predicted lineup: Areola (GK), Scarles (DF), Kilman (DF), Todibo (DF), Walker-Peters (DF), Souček (MF), Irving (MF), Bowen (MF), Summerville (MF), Fernandes (MF), Paquetá (AT)

West Ham's defence will be key, with Scarles and Kilman tasked with keeping Leeds at bay. In attack, Paquetá will be crucial in breaking down Leeds' defence and creating chances.

• Aaronson vs Scarles: Aaronson's pace and creativity will be tested against Scarles' defensive solidity.

• Longstaff vs Irving: Longstaff's control in midfield will be crucial against Irving's tenacity and work rate.

• Ampadu (Leeds United): Ampadu's ability to dictate the tempo and break up play will be vital for Leeds.

• Paquetá (West Ham United): Paquetá's flair and goal threat could be the difference for West Ham if he finds his form.
