5 Minutes: The first shot of the day comes from Bowen, who hits a left-foot wide from 30 yards or more.
2 minutes: Two crossfield deliveries to Firpo. As one of Llorente’s Leeds tried to play off defense was excellent, the other from Harrison when he tried to create a shooting opportunity he was not.
1 minute: Peep! Leeds kicked off!
players out, And the leads are about to kick off!
here’s a first look Leeds debutant Louise Bett’s. On his phone, obviously. Bah, today’s youth, etc etc etc.
david moyes has chat With ITV. He’s still angry about the rescheduled Norwich game – “I don’t think it’s fair that our game has been placed midweek, but it has been, and we have to move on with it” – but sounds great otherwise:
It shows how important I think it is to play well against Leeds, because they are a good team. We want to win the Cup but we also want to try to do well in the Premier League. Everyone [want to make the final]But I think all journalists are asking the same question to the managers. It’s a long journey, a tough game. We have a tough game today and we have to focus on that before thinking about the final.
West Ham starting XI Perhaps surprisingly strong, while Leeds have picked Sam Greenwood, Leo Hejelde and Lewis Bett, three teenagers who have not started a single league game this season, as well as Robin Koch, who has made three league appearances but The strength is the bench.

Hello World!
It’s the weekend of the third round of the FA Cup, it’s time to revel in the fixtures
Will see you again very soon! West Ham v Leeds is televised twice a week, with the Hammers at home against the same opponents due to start exactly seven days after the Premier League Cup-themed edition. Of the two matches, they will take it a little less seriously. It’s not hard to conclude that TV cameras could have been better positioned elsewhere, but these are two well-supported clubs that will guarantee good viewing figures, so here we are.

Marcelo Bielsa moves to his fourth lap FA Cup Having never won a single match in competition, that’s a little bobbin. And with a long list of injuries to deal with, his chances of improving on that record don’t look great. “We always try to win in every official game we have,” Bielsa promised. “Extra motivation is never needed. Every time the group plays, the desire to win is always maximum. Every competition is a possibility and we take it that way. In every match we do this with the intention of winning it.” We are going to try to convey the characteristics of our play and that will allow us to beat them.”
I’ve read the last sentence a dozen times and still can’t figure out what’s going on.
West Ham will also change their line-up again, what with squeezing a rearranged league game against Norwich between two Leeds matches and everything. “I’m not really sure yet which way we want to go,” David Moyes said of his team’s selection for the game. “I think because the Premier League has put the game on Wednesday night, it has changed the whole dynamic of this FA Cup tie.”
Anyway, we hope for the best, right? Welcome!
