Earning a point against Newcastle, at St James’ Park is no small feat by any means. Leeds can take pride in halting the Magpies’ Charge for a Champions League place on New Year’s Eve. Jesse Marsch’s side’s last league win came against Bournemouth (4-3), on November 5, courtesy of goals from Rodrigo Moreno, Sam Greenwood, Liam cooper and Crysencio Summerville. West Ham, on the other hand, has lost each of their last four league- matches. Last time out, first-half strikes from Ivan Toney and Josh Dasilva helped the Bees secure all three points at the London Stadium while handing an 11th league defeat to the Hammers.
Possible Lineups
Leeds midfielder Adam Forshaw couldn’t last the entire 90 minutes against the Magpies because of fitness issues, therefore Marc Roca is likely to come into the playing eleven, joining Adams in the engine room. Meanwhile, the likes of Luis Sinisterra, Archie Gray, and Stuart Dallas are sidelined with injuries. As for West Ham, defender Kourt Zouma is nursing a knee problem, while Maxwell Cornet is out with a calf strain. Michael Antonio might lead the line, with Bowen, Paqueta and Benrahma in support.
Leeds United possible line-up:Â Meslier, Kristensen, Cooper, Koch, Strujik, Adams, Roca, Summerville, Aaronson, Grotto, Rodrigo
