West Ham United vs Leeds United match preview
West Ham United: European finalists once again.
On Thursday night, the Hammers saw off AZ Alkmaar in the semi-finals of the Europa Conference League.
Having won the first leg 2-1 in at home, the Irons looked set to earn the draw they needed at AFAS Stadion until, in the 93rd minute, Pablo Fornals raced clear and slotted home the clincher, sparking wild celebrations.
That goal means David Moyesâ men have won 13 of 14 European matches this season, drawing the other.
So, in 17 days time, West Ham will take on Fiorentina in the Europa Conference League Final in Prague.
Thisâll be just the clubâs third final on the continent, beating 1860 Munich in the Cup Winnersâ Cup of 1965, before losing to Anderlecht in the same competition 11 years later.
Thus, this game is all about Leeds United and their bid to beat the drop.
Last weekend, the Whites played out a chaotic, thoroughly entertaining 2-2 draw with Newcastle at Elland Road.
Luke Ayling broke the deadlock, Patrick Bamford then saw a tame penalty saved before Rasmus Kristensenâs deflected shot ensured Leeds didnât leave empty handed.
This draw though means they remain the relegation zone, one point above Leicester but one below Everton and safety.
On the final day, Sam Allardyceâs men welcome Tottenham to West Yorkshire, a more than winnable game, but require a result in East London to ensure their fate is in their own hands.
This game will see Allardyce face one of his many former clubs, guiding West Ham to promotion in 2012, followed by three comfortable mid-table finishes.
So, can Big Sam get one over his former employers, with Leeds in desperate need of three points at the London Stadium.
