Leeds United will host West Ham United at Elland Road on Friday night in the Premier League.

Oliver Giroud equalised midway through the first half before second half goals from Kurt Zouma and Christian Pulisic sealed the win.
West Ham also lost 3-1 at the weekend, with Manchester United turning the game around after halftime.
Tomas Soucek gave the Hammers the lead in the first half before goals from Paul Pogba, Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford sealed the points for the Red Devils.
