West Ham United come into this with the stronger recent home reference point, having beaten Everton 2-1 at the London Stadium in their last win. Leeds United have been more consistent in the league overall, but their away draw at Tottenham Hotspur and 2-2 at AFC Bournemouth show they can be made to work on the road. With no xG data available, the clearest angle is form and the fact West Ham have already shown they can edge a home game when they get their attacking players involved.
Leeds United have scored in four of their last five league matches, so they should not be written off, but West Ham’s recent results suggest a tighter, lower-scoring contest is more likely than a wide-open one. The head-to-head record is mixed, yet West Ham did win the most recent meeting at home in May 2023, which adds some support to the home side. Match Prediction: West Ham United 2-0 Leeds United
Form Guide & Team Overview
West Ham United
West Ham United’s recent league form has been patchy, with three straight defeats in their last three matches. Those losses came against Newcastle United, Arsenal and Brentford, and they were all by a single goal or more, which points to a side that has struggled to keep games under control.
Before that run, there was a 2-1 home win over Everton and a 0-0 draw away at Crystal Palace. That gives West Ham at least one recent home victory to lean on, but the overall picture is still one of limited momentum heading into Round 38.

Leeds United
Leeds United arrive in better league form, with three wins and two draws in their last five Premier League matches. They have beaten Brighton & Hove Albion, Burnley and Wolverhampton Wanderers, while also drawing away at Tottenham Hotspur and AFC Bournemouth.
Across all competitions, the only defeat in the recent run was the 0-1 loss to Chelsea in the FA Cup. That suggests Leeds have been competitive and difficult to beat, even if the away draw at Bournemouth shows they can still be tested defensively.

Lineups & Tactical Setup
West Ham United (3-4-2-1)
Predicted lineup: Mads Hermansen (Goalkeeper), Axel Disasi (Defender), Jean-Clair Todibo (Defender), Konstantinos Mavropanos (Defender), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (Midfielder), El Hadji Malick Diouf (Midfielder), Mateus Fernandes (Midfielder), Tomáš Souček (Midfielder), Callum Wilson (Attacker), Crysencio Summerville (Attacker), Jarrod Bowen (Attacker)
West Ham United’s 3-4-2-1 should give them a solid base with three centre-backs and enough cover in midfield to keep Leeds from settling. It also leaves room for Callum Wilson, Crysencio Summerville and Jarrod Bowen to attack quickly in the spaces behind Leeds United’s back line.
Leeds United (3-5-2)
Predicted lineup: Karl Darlow (Goalkeeper), Jaka Bijol (Defender), Joe Rodon (Defender), Sebastiaan Bornauw (Defender), Anton Stach (Midfielder), Ao Tanaka (Midfielder), Daniel James (Midfielder), Ethan Ampadu (Midfielder), James Justin (Midfielder), Brenden Aaronson (Attacker), Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Attacker)
Leeds United’s 3-5-2 should help them stay compact through the middle while still giving them width from the wing-back areas. With Brenden Aaronson and Dominic Calvert-Lewin up front, they have a shape that can support direct attacks if they can get the ball into advanced areas early.
Key Battles & Players to Watch
| West Ham United | Leeds United | Key Battle Overview |
|---|---|---|
| West Ham United | Leeds United | Callum Wilson against Jaka Bijol is a direct duel that could decide how much space West Ham get in the final third. |
| West Ham United | Leeds United | Aaron Wan-Bissaka against Anton Stach matters because that midfield-side battle can shape who controls the right channel. |
| West Ham United | Leeds United | Callum Wilson is key for West Ham United because he gives them a central attacking reference in a 3-4-2-1. |
| West Ham United | Leeds United | Brenden Aaronson is key for Leeds United because he offers a forward threat from midfield and links play into the front two. |
