West Ham United will welcome Leeds United at the London Stadium on Sunday afternoon as both teams look to go all out in search of the three points. The Hammers got the better of the Whites by a 2-0 scoreline when the two sides met in the FA Cup last weekend. Hence, they will be confident about their chances of success in front of their home fans.
Talking Tactics
David Moyes will opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation for this clash at home. The Hammers boss could ask his players to dominate the ball and orchestrate some decent chances in the final third.
Marcelo Bielsa will set his team up in the 4-2-3-1 formation as well. The Leeds boss would instruct his men to press the opposition high up the field and cause a few problems for them on the counter.
