Leeds United face West Ham on the final day of the season, and there is a lot at stake. The Hammers will be desperate for a win to survive.
Leeds have played a huge part in the relegation battle in the last few weeks. They held Spurs to a draw when Roberto De Zerbi’s side could have gone four points clear of West Ham.
And on Sunday, the Hammers need a win and for Spurs to lose to stand a chance of survival. Ahead of the game, a lot of pundits have favoured the home side.
Many have tipped Nuno Espirito Santo to get the result needed to keep his team up. The Whites on the other hand, are keen to finish the season on a high.
Stan Collymore drops Leeds United claim ahead of West Ham clash
Both teams have faced each other two times this season, with Farke’s side unbeaten against the Hammers. The last game between the two sides ended with Leeds United winning on penalties in the FA Cup at the London stadium.
Stan Collymore thinks this game will be difficult to call as there is no outright favourite. He predicts a draw on Sunday, which would effectively relegate the Hammers.
“My prediction is 1-1 for West Ham against Leeds.” Collymore said on talkSPORT.
“For exactly the same reason as Spurs as I am not convinced at all that the West Ham and Spurs players can all of a sudden turn it on like that.
“Both of those big games.”
West Ham are in poor form, and have lost their last three league games. Leeds on the other hand, are unbeaten in the Premier League since returning from the last international break.

Whites are having a great season
After surviving relegation and reaching an FA Cup semi-final for the first time in over 30 years, Leeds fans have had a decent ride this season.
At some points, it looked like the club would go down. But Daniel Farke and his players have managed to turn things around since the end of last year.
The Whites currently sit in 14th place in the Premier League and could fish as high as 11th place if they manage to get a win and other results go their way. So there will be some motivation for Farke’s side on Sunday.
