Leeds United welcome West Ham to Elland Road on Saturday still looking for their first Premier League win of the season.

Despite dominating the majority of the game with Newcastle, the Whites managed to throw away three points with sloppy defending.

Emma Jones has previewed this clash and along with Jermaine Beckford is expecting a tough challenge.

Speaking on the official Leeds United Podcast this morning, Jones shivered while looking ahead to our next fixture.

"Pat came out after the game and said himself that in terms of performance it was an improvement," she said.

"Obviously it wasn't the three points we wanted. Now, against West Ham - it's not going to be the easiest fixture is it?"

Problems.

Bamford admitting that the performance was an improvement simply shows us that still isn't enough.

If we can't put a poor Newcastle side to bed, there is ever right for people to be slightly panicking around Elland Road this month.

Having said that, no one could account for the number of injuries and unjust suspensions there would be in the squad - with that a real worry at this moment in time.

Bamford himself is a doubt at this moment, with Jack Harrison, Raphinha, Diego Llorente, Pascal Struijk and Robin Koch all potentially out.

Bielsa will be pulling his hair out at his bad luck right now, but hopefully, that can spark a brilliant performance in front of a packed Elland Road and deliver those three points we all desperately deserve.
