Leeds have won only one of their last nine meetings with West Ham, while the Hammers are unbeaten in four visits to Elland Road, dating back to 2005, their longes streak since 1981.
Leeds vs West Ham preview
After an embarrassing performance on Monday night, West Ham United need to show a reaction. Earlier this week, the Hammers were beaten 2-0 by Brentford at the London Stadium, but that does not begin to tell the whole story. This was one of the most one-sided matches you're every likely to see, with the Bees accumulating an xG figure of 2.37, to the Irons' 0.35, with the visitors creating five Opta-defined big chances, attempting 22 shots in total.
This was Nuno Espírito Santo's first home match in charge and, if he didn't realise before that he has a big job on his hands, he certainly knows now. This defeat leaves West Ham second-bottom of the table, their sole victory of the campaign coming against Nuno's Nottingham Forest in August. So, having yielded just a solitary point from five fixtures since the start of September, the 2,852 Hammers making the journey north to West Yorkshire on Friday surely aren't doing so with much optimism.
On the flip side, Leeds United have to view this as a golden chance to collect three priceless points. Well, last weekend, Daniel Farke's team did suffer a set back, beaten 2-0 by fellow newly-promoted outfit Burnley at Turf Moor, conceding towards the start of both halves in Lancashire.
That is now back-to-back defeats for the Whites, following a 2-1 reverse against Spurs prior to the international break. Leeds have beaten both Everton at home and Wolves away so far, meaning they sit 16th, and it will continue to be games against fellow-strugglers that will determine their fate. The last time Leeds beat West Ham in the top-flight at Elland Road was in February 2003, with Seth Johnson the only scorer. 22 year on, will it be a famous Friday night for those bedecked in white?

Leeds team news
Summer signing Lucas Perri has missed the last five Premier League matches due to a quad issue, but was on the bench at Turf Moor, so is likely to return in place of deputy Karl Darlow in goal.
Meantime, wingers Wilfried Gnonto and Noah Okafor both missed the trip to Burnley and are doubts for this one too. Thus, Brenden Aaronson and Jack Harrison, not the most popular pair among Leeds supporters, started out wide, but fit again Dan James could come in this time.
Leeds United predicted lineup vs West Ham United: (4-3-3): Perri; Bogle, Struijk, Rodon, Gudmundsson; Ampadu, Longstaff, Stach; James, Aaronson, Calvert-Lewin.
Leeds player to watch vs West Ham
Dominic Calvert-Lewin was on target during Leeds' most-recent victory at Wolves, while he has scored six times across his last nine meetings with West Ham, so can he continue that scoring spree?
West Ham team news
Given how lacklustre his side were on Monday, it would surprise no one if Nuno Espírito Santo made wholesale changes at Elland Road.
At half time against Brentford, the new manager made a triple substitution, switching to a back three, but that did little to stem the tide. Centre-back Konstantinos Mavropanos, one of those introduced at the interval, appeared to suffer a muscle injury late on, so will surely miss out here.
In attack, despite the fact Niclas Füllkrug has a thigh injury, Callum Wilson has seen zero minutes since Nuno's arrival to date, with youngster Callum Marshall coming off the bench during the last two matches. So, it'll be interesting to see if he goes with a strikerless set-up once again.
West Ham United predicted lineup vs Leeds United: (4-3-3): Areola; Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Diouf; Magassa, Fernandes, Souček; Bowen, Paquetá, Summerville.
West Ham player to watch vs Leeds
Jarrod Bowen has scored three of West Ham's six Premier League goals so far this season, while netting three times in his last four appearances against Leeds, so could he be the hero here?

We are backing Leeds to make home advantage count. West Ham are so lifeless and devoid of any confidence right now, and we believe the hosts can take advantage: Leeds United 2-1 West Ham.
