West Ham are not done yet. Had Tottenham managed even a point at Chelsea on Wednesday night, the Hammers were effectively relegated due to a vastly inferior goal difference.<\/p>\n

But Tottenham\u2019s defeat leaves a set of straightforward outcomes to decide who goes down. If Spurs lose at home to Everton, West Ham can preserve their top-flight status by beating Leeds. Anything else and Tottenham survive.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the season, Leeds might have been needing something from this game themselves to stay up. But the Whites have been performing more like a mid-table side for some time and, if results go their way, Daniel Farke\u2019s men could finish as high as 11th.<\/p>\n

West Ham v Leeds kick-off time<\/p>\n

West Ham v Leeds kicks off at 4pm BST on Sunday, May 24 at the London Stadium.<\/p>\n

West Ham team news<\/p>\n

Goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski remains out due to a persistent lower back problem, while flying winger Adama Traore has missed the last two games with a quadriceps injury so will be assessed.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, West Ham look to have a clean bill of health.<\/p>\n

Leeds team news<\/p>\n

Anton Stach was stretchered off against Brighton last week after landing awkwardly from an aerial challenge so is a major doubt.<\/p>\n

Pascal Struijk didn\u2019t make the squad for the Brighton game due to a hip injury and will need to be assessed.<\/p>\n

Jayden Bogel and Gabi Gudmundsson are both trying to shake off hamstring injuries while Ilia Gruev is definitely out.<\/p>\n

West Ham v Leeds odds<\/p>\n

West Ham have to win to give themselves any hope of survival and they\u2019re 5\/6 to keep up their end of the bargain.<\/p>\n

Leeds are 3\/1 while The Draw is 11\/4.<\/p>\n

The relegation betting shows how much the Hammers are up against it. They\u2019re 1\/9 to go down while Spurs are 11\/2 for the drop.<\/p>\n

West Ham v Leeds prediction<\/p>\n

Both teams have a good record on final day.<\/p>\n

West Ham have lost just one of their last 19 final-day matches, winning 11, when signing off at home.<\/p>\n

Leeds, meanwhile, have lost just two of their 15 closing-day encounters in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

It should be helpful for West Ham that they have a clear objective: win or it\u2019s all over.<\/p>\n

And while it might not be enough, the Hammers can take advantage of some injuries in the Leeds camp to bank all three points.<\/p>\n

Callum Wilson had a late equaliser against Arsenal chalked off, and perhaps he can make an impact that will have even more significant consequences here.<\/p>\n

West Ham to win, Wilson to net anytime and Both Teams To Score pays 11\/2.<\/p>\n
