    TEAM NEWS

    Leeds manager Neil Warnock is expected to name the same side that defeated Middlesbrough for his first win.

    Paul Robinson, on-loan from Bolton, will continue at left-back so Aidy White will occupy the left wing again.

    West Ham forward Ravel Morrison will make his first appearance for the club having signed from Manchester United at the end of January.

    Striker Ricardo Vaz Te is out, while Joey O'Brien, Winston Reid and Julien Faubert will all be given late checks.
    MATCH FACTS

    Head-to-head

    • This is the 104th competitive meeting. Leeds have won 48 of the previous 103, West Ham 27, with 28 drawn.

    • Leeds are looking to take their unbeaten run against the Hammers to nine games (W5, D3).

    • West Ham's only win in 13 league clashes was 1-0 at Elland Road in the Premier League in November 2000, when Nigel Winterburn scored the winner.

    Leeds United

    • Having gained their first win under Neil Warnock against Middlesbrough last Sunday, Leeds now set about the task of gaining their first back-to-back wins in over three months.

    • The 10th placed West Yorkshire club, four points outside the play-offs, have only managed to deny Millwall and Portsmouth from scoring in a league game at Elland Road this season.

    • Warnock, at 63, is the oldest current manager in the Championship.

    West Ham United

    • The Hammers are unbeaten in seven, but have failed to win four of their last six, and have slipped out of the top two.

    • They have picked up an unmatched 10 Championship wins on the road, and boast the best away record in the division with 33 of their 66 points coming on their travels.

    • Sam Allardyce, at 57, is the second oldest manager in the Championship

    Referee

    • Saturday's referee will be Peter Walton.

    • The 51-year-old began his refereeing career in 1986, was appointed to the Football League List of assistant referees in 1993, and the Premier League List of assistant referees the following year.

    • After running the line during the 1996 FA Cup final between Manchester United and Liverpool at Wembley, Walton joined the FIFA list of assistant referees and ran the line during the 1996 UEFA European Championship group-stage fixture between Germany and Czech Republic at Old Trafford.

    • Walton, who lists golf and current affairs among his hobbies, joined the Football League List of referees in 1998 and joined the Premier League Select List in 2003.

    • Walton's first West Ham United appointment came on 21 November 2004, when the Hammers were defeated 1-0 at Millwall in the Championship.

    • In 2007, he was part of a group of referees who travelled to Ecuador to undertake an Advanced Course for Referees' Instructors on behalf of the FA and CONMEBOL.

    • Walton will be assisted this afternoon by Scott Ledger and Glenn Turner, while the fourth official will be Geoff Eltringham.

    • Walton's most-recent West Ham United game came in May 2011 when the Hammers drew 1-1 with Blackburn Rovers in the Premier League. His previous Leeds United appointment came in 1-0 home League One defeat by Southampton on 13 March 2010.

    I have been over to the lids chat this week to get their views on the game coming up and these are some of the replies I got back , I,ll post more as later in the week

    Geezer
    Hello again people , I thought I would pop in and get some of your views on the game next Saturday .
    Its getting very tight at the top of the table now and not too many points between you and a play off place , do you think you will get whats needed to fight for a chance in the Prem ?
    I personally cant stand Warnock , whats you opinion of him and will he do the job for you guys ? The last time we met it ended in a draw at UP , what will be the result this time round and why ? We have been slipping a bit lately still unbeaten in 8 games but draws to clubs that we really should have gained max points against . Do you think we will hold on to our 2nd spot or do you think we will slip down to the play off places ?
    I,ll post all views on our chat site , some of you have been over , heres the link Cockney Boys, play nice if you do Big Grin Good luck today , we need you to win this one

    Sue Heyhey
    After today's result I'm hopeful we'll turn up for West Ham, going to be a great game....

    We need that play-off place

    Scrumpy
    and neils lovely! Big Grin
    so there.

    TheNewShamCrazY
    All i will say is you are meeting us at the wrong time.
    We are a diff team and are finally looking like a team.
    You are not in the best of form and if you turn up playing like that your going home with nowt.
    We have just outplayed southampton and run boro ragged in their own backyard 1st and 4th.
    I also think we have the best manager in the league.love him or hate him he has the tools which alot of managers in this division don't have.

    Bedar
    Welcome to Leeds again Geezer. We managed a draw at your place but I expect to take all 3 points next Saturday. I'll be down in the bawwa this week to have a banter with the lads

    detinusdeel

    Geezer We will win next week 1 nil 2nil or 2 1 By your own admission you are not playing that well and our club I believe is on an upward spiral at present

    Will Warnock get us to the play offs I am not so sure one game at a time is the old cliche But 9 more wins would surely get us in

    Onionhead

    Sorry Mr West Ham, but we are on a roll with the Warnock Factor, you may as well stay at home and give us the 3 points.

    Shammy is right mate, playing us at the wrong time. If your lot turn up and put up a good show it'll be a great contest, but if your form is of late and we play as we have been then I can see us winning.

    This is the best we've looked for as long as I can remember.

    With regards to WH, I can actually see reading sneaking 2nd spot, they are going like a train

    OldIron
    The first two results that I always look for are West Ham and Leeds because they are my two favourite teams and have been for many years.
    You may think that they may make strange bed fellows given the historical animosity between the the sets of fans but I have a very good reason.
    My son was born in 1965 just 5 minutes from the West Ham ground and as I had already been a Hammer for eighteen years I was assuming that he would follow suit. Well by the early seventies which were Leeds Halcyon days He became a staunch Leeds fan and there was nothing that I could do to change that so I found myself in the strange situation of supporting two teams. He now lives in Brighton but that doesn't stop him making the occasional pilgrimage to Ellen Road. A true supporter. As for my lot, well you also have to be a long standing supporter to stay true after all the dramas of recent years. All in all I think it is about time that both sets of fans started to get a fair crack of the whip and nothing would please me more than to see Leeds and West Ham together in the prem next season. As I said to my son, you are very close to the play offs and if you can keep showing the form of last week then you will be there at the end of the season.
    As for this weekend, well I am afraid have to take sides on that one just as you should do for your team but thereafter I hope you kick ass and
    join us in the prem.

    Cheers from one very old fart.

    Finally a club with decent support - all 3,000 tickets sold at 36 quid a pop in the West Stand.

    Wasted journey if all you want is a result - a revitalised Leeds under NW are going to swamp everyone before us to the playoffs and wembley.

    Playing away and formwise underdogs. This should suit us fine. I think we could nick a hard fought win.

    The result on Saturday will have a significant impact on my enjoyment of Sunday.

    Off to the Brother-in-Laws restaurant for a Mothers Day meal.

    I'll either be served a massive portion of humble pie or a giant shit sandwich.

    Either way, it'll be an interesting luncheon.

    Time for this little toe rag to get a chance maybe

    West Ham United midfielder Ravel Morrison scored twice in the development side's 2-0 win over Brentford this afternoon.

    The former Manchester United youngster has yet to play for the first team but was an unused substitute on Saturday against Doncaster Rovers.

    His goalscoring performance will have alerted boss Sam Allardyce and he could earn a place in the side for their trip to Leeds United this weekend
