Leeds boss Sam Allardyce makes West Ham claim after wild and boozy dressing room celebrations

Leeds United manager Sam Allardyce reckons upcoming opponents West Ham might have offered his men a 'subconscious' boost in their Premier League relegation scrap with Everton.

With two games remaining, the Blues - who were managed by Allardyce for six months during the 2017/2018 season - are narrowly above the bottom three on 32 points. Leeds have totted-up 31 points in 18th position as Leicester City (30 points) and Nottingham Forest (34 points) have to be factored in either side.

Next up for Allardyce's squad on Sunday afternoon is a trip to the London Stadium - only 72 hours after West Ham booked their place in the Europa Conference League final amid chaotic scenes in the Netherlands. And it is that success Allardyce hopes can help Leeds in their push to beat the drop this season.
