West Ham 0 - 0 Leeds

14:23 , Michael Jones

West Ham 0 - 0 Leeds

15 minutes to go until kick off with the warm-ups well underway at the London Stadium. West Ham have named a strong team with Leeds perhaps forced into a mixture of youth and experience. Who will come out on top today?

West Ham vs Leeds: The FA Cup has become a lot more important to Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp

13:41 , Michael Jones

Also kicking off at 2pm today is Liverpool’s match against Shrewsbury. Domestic cups do not matter for the big clubs most of the time. And then they do. They have started to matter for Liverpool.

The Premier League was Jurgen Klopp’s primary target this season but the possibility of winning the title became much more remote over two disappointing weeks of the festive period.

The margin for error is tiny when duelling with Manchester City. Taking two points from three games leaves Liverpool 11 points behind the champions. No one at Anfield is giving up but pragmatism begins to outweigh optimism when double-digit gaps appear at the top of the table.

The FA Cup has become a lot more important to Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp

West Ham vs Leeds

13:34 , Michael Jones

Today’s clash is just the third time that these two teams have faced each other in the FA Cup.

Leeds prevailed 1-0 in a second-round replay in February 1924 before West Ham won 4-1 in a fourth round tie in January 1930, with Vic Watson scoring all four goals.

West Ham vs Leeds: Bielsa on desire to win

13:31 , Michael Jones

Marcelo Bielsa says that Leeds have an undiminished desire to win every game they play and to challenge for trophies in all the competitions they are a part of.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference he said:

West Ham vs Leeds

13:27 , Michael Jones

West Ham have won the last three meetings between the two teams, including both in the Premier League last season. The last time Leeds won against West Ham was in 2005, with their last win away from home coming in a 4-3 thriller back in November 2002.

West Ham vs Leeds: Elsewhere in the FA Cup

There was an early kick off today between Luton and Harrogate. That match has reached half-time with Elijah Adebayo’s right-footed shot from inside the box giving Luton a 1-0 lead at the break.

West Ham vs Leeds: A long wait

13:18 , Michael Jones

It is exactly 50 years since Leeds United won the FA Cup for the first and only time in the club’s 103-year history.

They faced Arsenal in the 1972 FA Cup final and came out 1-0 winners thanks to a header from England legend Allan Clarke who also scored in Leeds’ Fair Cup (now Uefa Europa League) final victory over Juventus a year earlier.

Can the Whites emulate that historic success again this season?

West Ham vs Leeds: No replays and more subs

13:12 , Michael Jones

Due to the fixture backlog caused by Covid-19 postponements the third and fourth rounds of the FA Cup will be settled with one game.

Replays have been scrapped this season to help ease the fixture congestion and any draws over 90 minutes will be settled with 30 minutes of extra time and penalties to decide the winners.

Clubs can also name nine substitutes and use five in the cup.

West Ham vs Leeds: Team changes

13:09 , Michael Jones

David Moyes makes three changes to the West Ham team that defeated Crystal Palace last time out. Alphonse Areola replaces Lukasz Fabianksi in goal with Ryan Fredericks joining the defence in place of Vladimir Coufal. Said Benrahma is out so in comes Nikola Vlasic.

Marcelo Bielsa shuffles his players around and brings in some unfamiliar faces. 18-year-old Leo Hjelde partners Diego Llorente at centre-back with fellow teenager Sam Greenwood leading the line. Patrick Bamford doesn’t make the squad. Lewis Bate comes into the midfield with Adam Forshaw and Raphinha dropping to the bench.

West Ham vs Leeds: Line-ups

13:01 , Michael Jones

West Ham XI: Areola, Fredericks, Dawson, Diop, Johnson, Rice, Soucek, Bowen, Lanzini, Vlasic, Antonio

Leeds XI: Meslier, Ayling, Llorente, Hjelde, Firpo, Koch, Bate, James, Klich, Harrison, Greenwood

12:54 , Michael Jones

West Ham vs Leeds: Recent results

12:47 , Michael Jones

After five games, across all competitions, without a win West Ham turned around their stuttering form with consecutive away victories over Watford (1-4) and Crystal Palace (2-3) in the Premier League. Manager David Moyes has spoken about the Hammers going on a good run in the FA Cup so expect a relatively strong team to line-up against Leeds today as he looks to continue West Ham’s winning run.

Leeds bounced back from three consecutive Premier League defeats - to Chelsea (3-2), Manchester City (7-0) and Arsenal (1-4) - to inflict a confident and composed 3-1 defeat on Burnley in their last match. The win was a much needed victory for Marcelo Bielsa’s team who have earned a little breathing room above Premier League drop zone. Winning creates momentum and Leeds will want that to continue into today’s FA Cup clash with fellow Premier League side West Ham.

Why the FA Cup third round has never been more important

12:39 , Michael Jones

There are few feelings like it in football. That is something that became achingly apparent at clubs like Marine and Chorley last season. The restrictions necessary for Covid denied them the spirit of life that comes with a big FA Cup tie involving a smaller club.

The events of the past two years should help to restore a sparkle to the competition, and especially this most compelling of rounds. That doesn’t just apply to the pandemic. There’s also the Super League, controversial takeovers, and so many other stories that foster the feeling the elite game is just getting away from us, going to some super deluxe level cordoned off and separated from the rest of the game.

The FA Cup third round now, more than ever before, is the great riposte to this. It is the intoxicating antidote. It has actually never been more important, for the game as a whole.

West Ham vs Leeds: Moyes on FA Cup run

12:34 , Michael Jones

West Ham boss David Moyes is hoping for a good run in the FA Cup this season and believes he has a squad that can challenge for the trophy.

Speaking ahead of toady’s cup match with Leeds, Moyes emphasised the juggling act between selecting strong teams for cup games without sacrificing any momentum in the Premier League and has backed Nikola Vlašić to step up in the absence of some of the more senior players.

Moyes said:

West Ham vs Leeds: Injuries and absentees

12:28 , Michael Jones

Kurt Zouma, Angelo Ogbonna and Aaron Cresswell are all sidelined with injuries causing a dent in West Ham’s defence and forcing manager David Moyes to rely on some of his second stringers. Said Benrahma has travelled to the African Cup of Nations and is unavailable with Pablo Fornals also a dobut after missing a few games.

Leeds’ injury problems continue to mount up. Tyler Roberts and Joe Gelhardt are the latest players to be ruled out and they join Liam Cooper, Kalvin Phillips, Pascal Struijk, Rodrigo, Jamie Shackleton and Charlie Cresswell on the sidelines. However, striker Patrick Bamford is fit again and could return to the starting XI.

West Ham vs Leeds

Follow live updates as West Ham host Leeds in the third round of the FA Cup this afternoon. The Hammers have enjoyed a strong season in the cup competitions so far this campaign, defeating both Manchester United and Manchester City as they reached the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup, while also progressing to the knockout stages of the Europa League under David Moyes. Back-to-back Premier League wins over Watford and Brighton have also moved West Ham back inside the Premier League’s top five ahead of Wednesday’s meeting with Norwich.

It’s been five years since Leeds last progressed past the third round of the FA Cup, with Marcelo Bielsa’s side losing at this stage in each of the last four seasons. Leeds secured a vital win over Burnley in their last Premier League fixture to ease their relegation concerns and a cup run this season would be fitting on what is the 50th anniversary of their FA Cup winning campaign of 1971-72, which remains the only occasion in which the club have won the competition.
