They hope to put their London voodoo to rest which stretches back to 2017 (away at QPR). With players on the comeback trial, they have an increased chance of leaving East London with at least a share of the spoils. Much will depend on the Friday lunch time U23 fixture at Wolves. Bielsa revealed in his pre match presser that a number of first team players may be in a position to resume first team duties, depending on how they fared at Molineux. The Argentine was cagey who would be making the trip to the Midlands with Mark Jackson's youngsters though I wouldn't be surprised to see Rodrigo, as he has been back in training for well over a week. He should be joined by Ian Poveda who was an unused sub against Crystal Palace and Beradi who played 45 minutes of that game. The Hammers currently occupy six place in the top flight, 10 points ahead of Leeds in 11th on 35 point. David Moyes team are only six points off 2nd place. The East End club are suffering a goal keeping crisis. Lukasz Fabianski and Darren Randolph are suffering with elbow and thigh injuries respectively. Third-choice David Martin may deputise. The 35yo, son of West Ham legend Alvin Martin had a brief loan at Elland Road in 2009, but did not play. He is no relation to Alan Martin, who played between the sticks for Leeds between 2007-11. He now plays for Bruno's Magpies in the Gibraltar National League! Ryan Fredericks will face a late fitness test.
Tough game for us. They are one of the few teams who outplayed us this season. Unless they have an off day I can't see us getting anything out of this.

Pinched from FB. Open to interpretation .... "Berardi, Rodrigo, Poveda and Phillips have all travelled with the squad to London".
