Chris Sutton has tipped Leeds United to get 2023 off to a flyer by beating West Ham. The first game of the new year sees two out-of-form sides go head-to-head at Elland Road.
Leeds are without a win in four games across all competitions while the Hammers have lost five consecutive Premier League fixtures. A much-improved performance saw Jesse Marsch’s side grind out a hard-fought 0-0 draw against high-flying Newcastle United on New Year’s Eve.
That result was the Whites' first clean sheet in nine matches and opened up a three-point cushion on the bottom three. Unlikely pre-season relegation candidates West Ham are now in the dogfight, sitting above the drop zone on goal difference.
