Leeds United and West Ham United clashed at Elland Road on Friday, October 24, 2025, in a Premier League match where both teams were desperate for points. Coming into the Week 9 fixture, both teams were in poor form and looking to climb the table.

Leeds United, playing at home, currently sits in 16th place with eight points, earned from two wins, two draws, and four losses. They were looking to bounce back after losing their last two Premier League games. Before the international break, Leeds suffered a 2-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, followed by a 2-0 loss to Burnley.

West Ham United, in 19th place, are currently in the relegation zone with four points, with a record of one win, one draw, and six losses. The change in manager, with Nuno Espírito Santo taking the reins, has not yet resulted in improved results, as they lost his first two games in charge 2-0. These defeats came against Arsenal away from home and Brentford at home. West Ham is currently on a five-match winless run.

The match kicked off at 8 p.m. local time in Leeds. For viewers in the United States, the game was available on TV and through streaming services, with a 3 p.m. ET start time.

Historically, Leeds has a stronger record against West Ham, with 13 wins compared to West Ham's 7 in their 27 encounters. However, West Ham hoped to take heart from the fact that their only win this season came on the road.

Both teams were aiming to improve their standing, with Leeds trying to create some distance from the relegation zone and West Ham seeking to escape it.
