The Yorkshire outfit held high flying Newcastle United to a draw in their final outing of 2022, and could move six points clear of the relegation zone should they pick up three points at home to the Hammers in midweek. They stand a strong chance of doing so, too, with under-fire Moyes having guided the East Londoners to five straight defeats to leave them out of the relegation zone solely on goal difference, though they remain just three points behind Jesse Marsch’s side.

Predicted XILeeds United predicted XI vs West Ham Team newsJesse Marsch faces no new injury issues after his squad came through unscathed against Newcastle United on New Year’s Eve, but could still be tempted to tweak the side slightly as players return to full fitness. Luke Ayling and Adam Forshaw are both returning from injuries and were substituted in the second half against the Magpies, and two games in five days may be too much of a tall order.

Ordinarily, I would say the way they play suits West Ham but, whatever is wrong with the Hammers, I don't see it improving here. David Moyes' side have lost their past five Premier League games while only scoring twice and that lack of goals is probably their biggest problem. I am writing West Ham off here - although I've been wrong about them so often this season, that is probably good news for their fans. Prediction: 2-1Sutton's full predictions v Modernlove drummer Cian McCluskeyMATCH FACTSHead-to-headLeeds United have lost three of their four Premier League games against West Ham United since returning to the top flight.

They had been defeated just twice in the opening 20 Premier League meetings. West Ham have won their last two Premier League away games at Leeds, as many as they had in their previous 33 league visits to Elland Road. The Hammers have never won three successive league fixtures at Leeds. Leeds UnitedLeeds United's draw at Newcastle United last time out featured just their third clean sheet of the season (also a 3-0 win versus Chelsea in August and a 0-0 draw with Aston Villa in October). Leeds could win their opening Premier League match of consecutive calendar years for the first time in a decade, following a 3-1 triumph against Burnley in 2022. The Whites have lost their last five Premier League matches against London clubs, despite taking the lead in three of those games. It's Leeds worst league losing run against teams from the capital since 1958 (also five).

They have never lost six in a row. Leeds conceded 35 home Premier League goals in 2022, their most at Elland Road in a single calendar top-flight year since they conceded 40 in 1959. They also kept just two clean sheets, their fewest ever at home when they've played the full year in the top flight. Leeds have conceded three goals in each of their last three home Premier League games, losing 3-2 to Fulham, winning 4-3 against Bournemouth and losing 3-1 to Man City.

The Whites haven't let in three or more goals in four consecutive home league games since 1960. West Ham UnitedWest Ham have lost five consecutive Premier League games for the first time since April 2017. It is the first time David Moyes has suffered five consecutive league defeats since 2005, when his Everton side lost six in a row. However, the Hammers could win their opening league match in four successive calendar years for the first time. West Ham have won their last three away league games against Yorkshire sides (twice against Leeds, once against Sheffield United). They last won four in a row in the county between 1938 and 1946 (against Sheffield Wednesday, Barnsley and Bradford Park Avenue twice).
