West Ham play their final home game of the Premier League season against relegation-threatened Leeds today. While David Moyes will be keen to finish their campaign at the London Stadium on a high, little will be able to match the euphoria of Thursday night.
Horrific scenes may have marred the end of their Europa Conference League win over AZ Alkmaar but the fact remains that the Hammers are in a European final. They stand on the brink of history and Moyes could well write himself into the club’s folklore should they overcome Fiorentina in Prague next month. As such, a rotated starting line-up is expected to be named for this game.
Leeds, with former Irons boss Sam Allardyce in the dugout, are fighting for their lives near the bottom of the table. Follow West Ham vs Leeds LIVE with Standard Sport’s match blog, with Malik Ouzia providing expert analysis from the ground!
