"Leeds sit 16th in the table with eight points from eight matches, just three clear of the relegation zone. Their return to the Premier League has been inconsistent, with two wins, two draws, and four defeats so far. Goals have been hard to come by-just seven in eight games-putting extra strain on their defence. Daniel Farke's men come into this fixture on the back of a 2-0 defeat to Burnley, their third game without a win."
"West Ham's struggles have been even more pronounced. The Hammers sit 19th with just four points from eight matches, having lost six times already this season. Their only win came against Nottingham Forest back in August. Nuno Espírito Santo's side suffered a 2-0 home defeat to Brentford last time out, marking their fourth consecutive home loss-a club record for the start of a season."
"Farke faces several selection headaches. Wilfried Gnonto and Noah Okafor remain major doubts through injury, while Harry Gray will need a late fitness check. Illness concerns surround Ethan Ampadu and Pascal Struijk, leaving their involvement uncertain. On the positive side, Daniel James is expected to start after returning from an ankle issue, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin should continue to lead the line."
