All eyes turn to Elland Road on Friday as Leeds United take on West Ham United in a game between two struggling sides, and Simon Jordan has predicted a home win \u2013 on one condition.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both Leeds<\/a> and West Ham come into the game having suffered 2-0 defeats to fellow relegation rivals in their last game. Nuno Espirito Santo has failed to win since joining West Ham from Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n

The Portuguese gaffer watched his side completely outplayed by Keith Andrews\u2019 Brentford on Monday night, and will be looking for a response. Nuno says it is a \u201cgood thing\u201d that West Ham are facing Leeds<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Leeds were beaten 2-0 by Burnley on Saturday, a disappointing result and even more so, that Leeds were much the better side. Alan Shearer was stunned by Leeds\u2019 dominance and inability to win<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Leeds\u2019 clash against The Hammers was discussed on TalkSPORT, with Friday night\u2019s outing a massive game for both sides in the fight against relegation. It might be early, but it is crucial.<\/p>\n

Simon Jordan<\/a> backed Leeds to win the game on Tuesday, but says it hinges on one player and that player is Dominic Calvert-Lewin<\/a>. Jordan believes if the England international can score, Leeds will win the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Elland Road, you\u2019d expect Leeds to win. If Calvert-Lewin can eventually score a goal, it is Leeds\u2019 match to win. If Nuno locks them up, gets a point, he\u2019ll happily come down the M1 in a good frame of mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nuno\u2019s record against Leeds and Daniel Farke is worrying<\/p>\n

Nuno might not have won in his first three West Ham games and certainly, West Ham\u2019s performance against Brentford was a concern. But, Nuno has an excellent record against Leeds, and Farke himself.<\/p>\n

Nuno has won all four matches against Leeds<\/a>, albeit with Wolves. Two were in the Championship and two in the Premier League, while Leeds have only ever managed to score one goal against a Nuno team.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Farke and Nuno have done battle on four occasions and similarly, Nuno has never lost when facing Farke\u2019s side \u2013 again, all four of which were between Wolves and Norwich. Three wins, one draw.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"All eyes turn to Elland Road on Friday as Leeds United take on West Ham United in a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":520213,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[748,33761,393,4884,1860,23561,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-520212","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-dominic-calvert-lewin","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-leeds","13":"tag-simon-jordan","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115419156025768450","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/520212","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=520212"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/520212\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/520213"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=520212"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=520212"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=520212"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
