Team news
Leeds United
Marcelo Bielsa left nothing to the imagination in his press conference ahead of the match. When asked who would replace Diego Llorente and Robin Koch - who both picked up injuries in the defeat to Chelsea - the Whites’ head coach named his starting XI to fact West Ham…
Meslier, Ayling, Cooper, Alioski, Dallas, Rodrigo, Phillips, Raphinha, Bamford, Harrison, Klich.
West Ham
David Moyes confirmed that Andriy Yaymolenko returned to training last week, after being out of action following a COVID-19 positive test. Michail Antonio missed the last match for the Hammers and is expected to still be out of the squad on Friday evening. Ryan Fredericks is likely to be the only other player unavailable for the visitors, as he is yet to return from a groin injury.

MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
Leeds are unbeaten in nine meetings, winning five of them, since a 1-0 home defeat in November 2000.
The most recent Premier League encounter between the sides came in February 2003, with hosts Leeds winning 1-0.
This will be West Ham's 50th away league trip to Leeds. They have won just six of their previous visits.
Leeds United
Leeds have gone four matches without a win at Elland Road, losing and drawing twice and scoring only two goals.
The Whites have never lost a top-flight home game played on a Friday (W3, D6).
They have lost three of their past five league fixtures, conceding at least three goals in each defeat.
Leeds have conceded 20 goals in 11 league games. They let in only 35 goals in 46 Championship matches last term.
Marcelo Bielsa's side have conceded a joint league-high 11 first-half goals.
Eight-goal leading scorer Patrick Bamford has only scored once at Elland Road this season.
West Ham United
Victory would ensure West Ham reach 20 points from 12 Premier League games for the second time.
The Hammers have only lost twice in eight away league matches.
They have opened the scoring in their past six league fixtures.
David Moyes' side have hit the woodwork an unrivalled eight times, once more than Leeds.
The Hammers have lost their past three Premier League away games on a Friday without scoring.
They have dropped a league-high 19 points from winning positions this calendar year.
Another tough game but one I feel we are able to Win despite the plague of injuries affecting our central defence, Rodrigo and Raphina to shine with Jack Harrison and Paddy scoring in a 2-0 win

We're too lightweight and too easily pushed off the ball and weak at set pieces.
Being beaten by more physical teams

I know we looked shaky at set pieces yet again but I thought Ayling was ok tonight and I don't think the goals were his fault but maybe play Struijk at CB and Ayling back to right back against Newcastle

That bad performance doesn’t make us a bad side. We didn’t turn up tonight. I am not going to worry too much about that at all.

Wake up, this isn't a one off it's every home game.

If it was that often you would be posting on here regularly. The fact you hardly ever have the balls to post suggests things are better more often than not.

Well when we won the league by 10 points last season and you still spent it all saying we aren’t good enough you will get bored of repeating yourself won’t you. I would suggest that’s your problem though not the teams.

If that doesn't open people's eyes to how bad we are nothing will,West Ham didn't have to break sweat to easily beat us. Rodrigo waste of money.
