Leeds United are considered to have a good chance of giving themselves a late but massive boost in the club’s desperate scrap for Premier League survival.
Sam Allardcye’s side are heading into the penultimate weekend of the season sat third-bottom in the division’s drop zone and still one point adrift of safety ahead of Sunday’s trip to West Ham United. Leeds, though, are pushing towards being joint favourites to take all three points from their visit to the London Stadium in tackling a 15th-placed and very busy Hammers side.
The Whites will face the Irons just three days after the East London outfit’s outing in Thursday night’s Europa Conference League semi-final second leg against AZ Alkmaar in the Netherlands. The Hammers are favourites for Sunday’s return to league action against Leeds but not by much.
David Moyes’ side can be backed at 7-5 for victory but Leeds are no bigger than 2-1 whilst the draw is on offer at 27-10 about a game in which United’s Rodrigo is 11-2 favourite to score first. That all suggests that the bookies feel that Leeds have every chance of taking a point or even three as part of a huge weekend in which main relegation rivals Everton and Nottingham Forest both take to the pitch the previous day.
Second-placed Arsenal are then odds-on to win at fifth-bottom Forest in the game’s teatime kick-off but the Gunners are hardly seen as certainties at a best priced 3-5. Forest are 24-5 whilst the draw is on offer at 18-5.
