3907
We have three fixtures to watch in the English Premier League on the 21st of May, including the meeting between West Ham United and Leeds United.
The game will be played at the London Stadium and the hosts are currently in 15th place on 37 points while the visitors are in 18th place on 31 points.
West Ham come into the match in a celebratory mood having clinched their place in the Europa Conference League final on Thursday night. The Hammers held a 2-1 lead from the first leg of the semi-final against AZ Alkmaar and scored a late goal in the Netherlands to win 3-1 on aggregate.
The win over AZ means West Ham have won 3 of their 4 most recent fixtures in all competitions. In addition to the two victories over AZ in the Europa Conference League, West Ham beat Manchester United 1-0 at home in the Premier League, a result which was enough to make them feel safe from relegation.
However, form in the Premier League has been poor and West Ham have lost 4 of their last 5 league games. There have been defeats away against Crystal Palace, Manchester City, and Brentford plus a 2-1 loss at home against Liverpool.
Home form shows West Ham are not easy to beat in-front of their own fans and there are no losses for West Ham in 10 of their most recent 12 home matches. Both teams have scored in 3 of their last 4 home Premier League games.
Leeds United travel to the London Stadium on the back of a 2-2 draw at home with Newcastle United. It took Leeds United just 7 minutes to open the scoring but Newcastle United equalised before half time.
It was Newcastle United who took the lead with their second penalty of the match but Leeds United scored 10 minutes later to take a point.
The draw with Newcastle United means Leeds United have failed to win any of their 7 most recent fixtures, all of which have been in the Premier League.
There have been defeats at home against Crystal Palace and Liverpool plus away to Fulham, Bournemouth, and Manchester City.
Trends show Leeds United have won only 3 of their last 23 Premier League matches and they have seen both teams score in their last 11 games.
Team news and West Ham continue without injured striker Gianluca Scamacca. The remaining squad will be assessed following the game against AZ on Thursday.
Leeds United will be without suspended full-back Júnior Firpo. Luis Sinisterra and Stuart Dallas are injured and there are doubts over the fitness of Marc Roca, Liam Cooper, and Tyler Adams.
West Ham can relax knowing they are not going to be relegated and have a European final to play. The same cannot be said for Leeds United who need the points to avoid the drop.
This is going to be an interesting game to watch and we expect to see both teams score. Leeds United have been poor on the road in the Premier League and could slip to another defeat.
