Leeds United vs West Ham Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2025-26

The Hammers emerged victorious when they last faced the Peacocks.

Leeds United are all set to lock horns with West Ham United for their mathweek 9 fixture of the 2025-26 English Premier League. This is going to be an intense clash between these sides, which will take place at Elland Road.

The Peacocks are coming in after facing a defeat at the hands of Burnley in their previous league game. Leeds United were completely outplayed as they delivered an underwhelming performance. They will be at home for their upcoming fixture, and it is going to be a big chance for them to secure a win.

The Hammers have secured only one win in their first eight matches of the 2025-26 Premier League season. They are going to be under pressure from the start.

West Ham United are coming in after losing their last fixture against Brentford. They will be looking to come up with a different strategy now.

Players to Watch

Anton Stach (Leeds United)

The 26-year-old will have a crucial part to play in the next league fixture for Leeds United. Anton Stach must establish tight control in the midfield, which is going to be essential for them against the Hammers. He has two goal contributions in eight PL games this season and will be looking to step up here.

Lucas Paquetá (West Ham)

Lucas Paqueta is going to play an important role for West Ham in their upcoming league fixture. He can control the midfield well, but can also be lethal for the opponent’s defence from the attacking front. In eight Premier League appearances, he has scored two goals and will now be looking to add more to his tally.

Match Facts
