Leeds United face a struggling West Ham in the Premier League on Friday.
Elland Road will welcome Nuno Espirito Santo’s team, with the Whites and the Hammers embroiled in a relegation battle this season.
The West Yorkshire outfit are winless in their last three league matches, but they’re in a better position than the Irons, who find themselves 19th in the table with just four points.
Daniel Farke’s team are expected to survive the Premier League drop, but the Peacocks have to beat teams like the East London club to have the best chance of achieving their goals.

Brenden Aaronson could be Leeds’ potential goalscorer against West Ham, Ray Parlour says.
The ex-Arsenal midfielder believes the Hammers might be able to secure a point at Elland Road, but a win for the Whites hasn’t been ruled out.
Parlour feels the USA international could get on the scoresheet for the West Yorkshire outfit if they beat the East London club in LS11.
Speaking on talkSPORT on 24 October, the Englishman said: “I’m going to sit on the fence and say 1-1. I think West Ham might nick a point. Goalscorer? I’m trying to think, Leeds could win quite comfortably. Who’s another Leeds player, a scorer in case they win? Is it Aaronson on the right? I’ll go, Aaronson.”
Aaronson was poor against Burnley in the 2-0 loss on 18 October, and it seems foolish to expect the American to score for the Whites anytime soon.
It looks like Parlour doesn’t know what he’s talking about, as the 25-year-old attacker has scored just two goals for the West Yorkshire outfit in 2025, both coming in the Championship against Swansea and Cardiff City.
Daniel Farke fights for his future at Elland Road
49ers Enterprises are set to talk about Farke in a meeting ahead of kick-off against West Ham, and it wouldn’t be surprising if the German manager’s future was brought up.
There was speculation around the former Norwich City boss’ sacking in the summer despite winning the Championship title, and that conversation could potentially rear its head again soon.

With the Whites losing to Burnley and potentially dropping points against another relegation rival in the Hammers, questions will undoubtedly arise about whether Farke is the right man for the job.
Nottingham Forest and West Ham have already changed managers as they look to get out of the drop zone, and if the German manager doesn’t start picking up more points, a change in the LS11 dugout may be on the horizon.
