How to watch today’s Leeds vs West Ham game: TV channel and kick-off time
Leeds United return to Premier League action as they take on struggling West Ham at Elland Road on Friday.

Leeds are taking on a West Ham side that has the worst defensive record in the Premier League, and Elland Road should be bouncing during what could be a pivotal match.
Leeds were expected to be relegated at the start of the season, yet crucial wins over Everton and Wolves leave them with a bit of breathing space over the bottom three.
Farke must get his team selection absolutely spot on, as a win on Friday could see them move seven points above their opponents.
Whilst Leeds should get some joy in creating chances, it’s up to striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin to start firing in the goals that could keep the Peacocks in the Premier League.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin must step up for Leeds in must-win match vs West Ham
Calvert-Lewin has been criticised for squandering opportunities in several games this season.
With Anton Stach and Sean Longstaff among the league’s top creators, Leeds’ goal total of seven is a huge misrepresentation of how they’ve played in the offensive third of the pitch.
Farke’s side have conceded the opening goal in seven of their eight top-flight matches this season, and they cannot afford to get off to a bad start on Friday.
Noah Okafor has a chance of returning from injury, and it would be a huge boost to have the Switzerland star back available for selection.
If Calvert-Lewin can claim his first goal at Elland Road early on in the match, not only would it boost his confidence, but it would likely send Leeds on the way to a third win of the campaign.
