West Ham and Leeds are both in the thick of the relegation dogfight in the Premier League, with the Irons in 18th and Leeds just four points above them in 15th. Leeds won this fixture at Elland Road 2-1 back in October, and they're due to face off in a mouth-watering clash in east London on the final day of the season.

The Hammers have found some form recently under Nuno Espirito Santo and are unbeaten in six at home in all competitions. Meanwhile, Leeds have struggled on the road all season, with Daniel Farke's side picking up just one win on their travels in the Premier League this season, which came back in September. Both sides would probably rather win that crunch decider in May, but we think it's West Ham who will edge this FA Cup quarter-final.

On the last four occasions West Ham and Leeds have met, both teams have scored, and with our 2-1 prediction we're saying that will happen for a fifth consecutive game. Both teams have scored in seven of the last eight games at the London Stadium, while each team has found the back of the net in six of Leeds' last seven away fixtures. So for the second leg of our West Ham vs Leeds bet builder, we're picking both teams to score.

Where would West Ham be without Jarrod Bowen? Their captain and talisman has carried the Hammers again this season, with ten goals and eight assists in all competitions as he attempts to lead the club to Premier League safety, as well as potentially another trophy. Bowen scored twice in the previous round against Brentford, with the Irons eventually advancing on penalties. With Crysencio Summerville injured, the burden will be even heavier on Bowen, and we're tipping him to make an impact again by having at least one shot on target, as he attempts to keep himself in the discussion for England's World Cup squad.

From one captain to another, as we're selecting Leeds skipper Ethan Ampadu to be shown a card for the final leg of our West Ham vs Leeds bet builder. The Wales international will be gutted after they missed out on a place at the World Cup, and there could be a bit of a hangover. No Leeds player has collected more than Ampadu's seven yellow cards in all competitions, and we're tipping the tough-tackling midfielder to pick up another here.
