West Ham Stats & Team News

  • Overall Record: 7-8-16
  • Home Record: 3-4-8
  • Road Record: 4-4-8
  • Top Goal Scorer: Jarrod Bowen (10)

The main aim for West Ham this season is to avoid relegation to the Championship, meaning that this weekend’s FA Cup quarterfinal could be somewhat of a distraction. However, it also presents the Hammers with a perfect opportunity to get back on track following a disappointing 2-0 defeat against Aston Villa before the international break.

West Ham upset the odds in the previous round of the FA Cup to eliminate Brentford on penalties. Meanwhile, their wins in the opening two rounds both came against lower league opposition in the forms of QPR and Burton Albion.

Injury News:

Jean-Clair Todibo (Calf) Crysensio Summerville (Calf)

Likely Line-Up:

(4-3-3): Harmansen; Diouf, Disasi, Mavropanos, Wan-Bissaka; Soucek, Magassa, Fernandes; Pablo, Castellanos, Bowen

Leeds Stats & Team News

  • Overall Record: 7-12-12
  • Home Record: 6-5-5
  • Road Record: 1-7-7
  • Top Goal Scorer: Dominic Calvert-Lewin (10)

Like West Ham, Daniel Farke’s job prospects will be judged on whether Leeds remain a Premier League team beyond this season. The Whites have been largely consistent, but their better performances have come at Elland Road, which includes a recent 0-0 draw against Brentford in the Premier League.

On the road, Leeds have scored just 1.00 goal per game, and allowed 1.87. Leeds have eliminated Championship opposition in the previous three rounds of the FA Cup, beating Derby County and Birmingham City in the third and fourth rounds, before overcoming Norwich City in the previous round.

Injury News:

Gabriel Gudmundsson (Suspended)

Likely Line-Up:

(3-4-1-2): Darlow; Rodon, Bijol, Struijk; Justin, Ampadu, Stach, Bogle; Aaronson; Calvert-Lewin, Nmecha

Head-to-Head Trends

  • West Ham recorded a victory in the only previous FA Cup meeting between these sides since 2000.
  • Both teams have scored in each of the last four head-to-head clashes between the Hammers and Leeds.

West Ham vs. Leeds Pick

While not having an impact on EPL positions, this weekend’s FA Cup clash could have a bearing on confidence levels. West Ham have struggled in recent matches with Leeds, meaning that the Whites could be the value play to record a third victory in their last five against the Hammers.
