West Ham 0 - 0 Leeds

13 mins: Close! Vlasic comes inside from the left and collects the ball on the edge of the Leeds box. He’s almost tackled but manages to poke the ball over to Antonio who shimmies back inside and shoots with his right-foot. He sends a curling, dipping effort towards the far top corner but the ball lands on top of the crossbar and goes out of play.

West Ham 0 - 0 Leeds

10 mins: Off the line! Declan Rice makes a run from deep and gets into the box. Nikola Vlasic flicks the ball into him and he just manages to keep it in play before floating a cross over to Antonio. Koch gets to the aerial ball first but heads it down to Manuel Lanzini who shoots and drills a low shot at goal. Meslier is too far away to stop it but Luke Ayling is positioned well on the goalline and boots the ball clear!

West Ham 0 - 0 Leeds

8 mins: Michail Antonio drives the ball through midfield but he’s tracked well by Lewis Bate who, with some help from Robin Koch, wins the ball for the visitors.

They don’t keep it for long though as a wayward pass up the pitch sends the ball back to the West Ham defenders. Ryan Fredericks makes a good run down the right wing and is fed the ball. He whips an early cross into the box but it is comfortably claimed by Illan Meslier.

West Ham 0 - 0 Leeds

5 mins: Chance! West Ham work the ball into the Leeds final final with a pass over to Jarrod Bowen on the right side. He holds the ball up well and turns away from Hjelde before rolling the ball onto his left foot. Now in space Bowen hits one from range but pulls the effort wide of the right-hand post.

West Ham 0 - 0 Leeds

3 mins: Nearly. Jack Harrison has started out on the right side for Leeds instead of his usual position on the left. He receives the ball and cuts inside from the wing before flicking a decent cross over to the back post. Junior Firpo sprints in from the opposite wing but the ball lands just in front of him and bounces out of play before he can get to it.

West Ham 0 - 0 Leeds

Kick off: Leeds get the match started at the London Stadium with six other FA Cup ties getting underway at the same time including Liverpool v Shrewsbury and Tottenhm v Morecambe.

Leo Hjelde boots a long ball up the pitch but can’t find a teammate and the ball skips into the West Ham box and through safely to Alphonse Areola.

West Ham vs Leeds

Here come the teams. Marcelo Bielsa spoke to ITV to explain Patrick Bamford’s absence saying that the Leeds striker hasn’t quite recovered from his muscular problem and doesn’t know when he’ll be fit again.

Can Leeds’ teenage forward, Sam Greenwood, lead his team to victory today?

Kick off is next.

Luton 2-0 Harrogate

GOAL! Cameron Jerome had doubled Luton’s lead in their cup tie over Harrogate. There’s just over 30 minutes to play in that match and Luton have on foot in the fourth round.

West Ham vs Leeds

David Moyes spoke to ITV about the opportunity for Nikola Vlasic to cement a place in the West Ham starting line-up with some good performances. He said:

He’s showed signs that he’s getting used to it, getting used to the speed and everything else. With Said [Benrahma] being away, it’s a good opportunity for him.

“We wanted to give him a bit of time anyway. He’s got himself a goal the other week [against Watford] so hopefully he can take that into today’s game.”

West Ham vs 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?
