Elland Road classic not expected

Neither Leeds or West Ham have been flush with goals this season, evidenced by their respective tallies of seven and six in the Premier League, and this lack of cutting edge could make for another low-scoring affair in West Yorkshire.

The Whites failed to score in the 2-0 defeat at Burnley on Saturday, the fourth time they have been blanked in the top flight, and they head into this contest without a win in their last three matches.

As for West Ham, Nuno Espirito Santo’s appointment hasn’t had the desired effect, with his side drawing 1-1 against Everton in his first game in charge before losing 2-0 to both Arsenal and Brentford.

The Hammers look lost in the final third, massively lacking creativity and cohesion, and it could turn out to be quite an attritional affair at Elland Road between two teams struggling for form.

• Leeds vs West Ham tip 1: Under 1.5 goals @ 5/2

Rodon can be an attacking threat

West Ham’s defending from set-pieces has been woeful this season, with eight of their 18 league goals conceded coming from those situations, and Leeds will look to target this area of weakness.

The Whites have a number of targets to aim for and one of those is defender Joe Rodon, who will be relishing the chance to go up against a fragile Hammers defence.

Wales international Rodon has managed at least one shot in each of his last three appearances and he looks capable of getting an effort away in front of a raucous Elland Road crowd.

• Leeds vs West Ham tip 2: Joe Rodon to have over 0.5 shots @ 11/10

Shots and fouls expected in West Yorkshire

Jarrod Bowen has been the glimmer of hope for West Ham this season and he has managed at least one shot on target in eight of his nine appearances in all competitions.

If allowed some space, the England international looks capable of testing the resolve of Leeds goalkeeper Karl Darlow, and the same can be said of Brenden Aaronson, who has been lively for the Whites.

The American has had a shot on target once in five of his last seven outings and he can force stopper Alphonse Areola into a save.

West Ham forward Lucas Paqueta hasn’t been afraid to stick his foot in and he has committed at least one foul in all nine games he has featured in this term. In a hostile environment, the Brazilian could get pulled up again by the referee.

Leeds midfielder Ethan Ampadu is another usually in the thick of the action and he has made two or more fouls in two of his last three matches, both of those coming at home, and he can add another couple of fouls to his tally.

• Leeds vs West Ham tip 3: Bet Builder – Jarrod Bowen 1+ shots on target, Brenden Aaronson 1+ shots on target, Lucas Paqueta to commit 1+ fouls & Ethan Ampadu to commit 2+ fouls @ 6/1
