Sam Allardyce has made two changes to his Leeds United side to face West Ham this afternoon as his side go looking for the win that would ensure their fate remains in their own hands for next week's final round of Premier League fixtures.
One change was enfored, as Junior Firpo is suspended this afternoon, so Pascal Struijk comes into the defence, while Sam Greenwood drops out of the XI in place of Adam Forshaw.
The big surprise in Allardyce's line-up is perhaps the absence of club captain Liam Cooper, who returns on the bench after injury, but Leeds fans have perhaps been more focused on the West Ham XI following their European exploits just 72 hours ago.

While Hammers boss David Moyes has made six changes, he maintains a strong core, with the likes of Kurt Zouma, Lucas Paqueta, Jarrod Boewn, Tomas Soucek and Declan Rice all in the line-up, despite Whites fans hoping that Moyes would rest their key players following their Europa Conference League semi-final victory on Thursday evening.
Here is how the teams line up:
Leeds United's XI to face West Ham: Robles, Ayling, Kristensen, Struijk, Wober, Koch, Forshaw, McKennie, Harrison, Rodrigo, Bamford
Subs: Meslier, Cooper, Mullen, Roca, Greenwood, Summerville, Aaronson, Rutter, Gnonto
West Ham XI: Fabianski, Coufal, Zouma, Ogbonna, Emerson, Soucek, Rice, Bowen, Paqueta, Fornals, Ings
