TEAM NEWS
West Ham goalkeepers Lukasz Fabianski and Darren Randolph are both nursing injuries.
Randolph suffered a hip problem last weekend after coming in for Fabianski, who has an arm injury.
Leeds will assess Pascal Struijk, who was forced off in the home defeat by Aston Villa, plus several players who are nearing a return to full fitness.
Rodrigo, Gaetano Berardi and Ian Poveda all played for the development side on Friday, but Kalvin Phillips missed out.
Leeds are very up and down at the moment - they are a bit like Aston Villa in that they are hard to predict.
West Ham have been far more consistent, which is why they are in the race for the top four. Yes, they lost at Manchester City last weekend but that was still a very good performance.
If Kalvin Phillips is back in the Leeds midfield then that improves their chances, but I'm backing the Hammers to maintain their impressive form.

Roberts again??? So we won't get any points today. He is awful and NOT good enough for this league. Bielsa costing us points today.

Hmmmm...Robert's couldn't hit a barn door from 5 yards if his life depended on it and Costa has zero confidence. One shouldn't play again, the other should either be loaned out to get 1st team time that won't harm us or more time in an U23 side that is doing well.Stop yer bellyaching!
