Leeds westham

Nottingham Forest's win over Southampton means West Ham are now outside of the relegation zone only on goal difference, while Leeds are 14th but are win-less in four. Leeds and west ham West Ham have lost their last five in the Premier League. And it does appear that David Moyes is coming under real pressure.

Antonio, Bowen, Lanzini and Vlasic were becoming increasing uncontainable as they pulled the overworked Leeds rearguard out of shape. Set up by Vlasic, Declan Rice was next to step within range. The action seemed to freeze as Vlasic squared the ball to the West Ham favourite on the edge of the box. The collective intake of breath was so apparent it echoed about the stands like a cheer. It said: “And Rice must score.” West Ham star insists squad is stronger despite window disappointment. Only centre-back Kurt Zouma (knee) and winger Maxwel Cornet (calf) were missing from the squad against Leeds, a potential boost in knowing that West Ham are more likely to see a stronger side, on paper at least, in the second half of the season than they have done in the first.

Both sides had chances to win it but had to settle for a point apiece, with West Ham remaining 17th in the table, level on 15 points with Everton in the relegation zone, while Leeds are two points clear of the bottom three in 14th. Leeds United will try to pile more misery when they host West Ham United on Wednesday in the Premier League. Leeds United substitutes: Robles, Firpo, Llorente, Kristensen, Gyabi, Klich, Greenwood, Harrison, Gelhardt.
