Leeds United v West Ham: Why is Premier League clash not on TV, kick off time and how to watch highlights

West Ham make the trip north to face Leeds United in the latest round of fixtures in the Premier League. A win for West Ham would see them move three points of the relegation zone after a very poor season.

Leeds have won the majority of their 16 points so far on home soil but have only won one of their last six home games. Meanwhile, West Ham have lost their last four league games on the bounce.

Their last competitive win came against Romanian outfit FCSB in the Europa Conference League at the beginning of November. It’s been a season to forget for the Hammers, who would have wanted to build on a great term last time out.

Both sides faced tricky tests in their last outing. West Ham fell to a disappointing 2-0 home defeat to London rivals Brentford, whilst Leeds fended off an in-form Newcastle United side away from home.

It put an end to three straight losses for Leeds, who could leapfrog Leicester and move to 13th in the table. The Hammers could drop into the bottom three with a loss, as Nottingham Forest who currently occupy 18th take on rock bottom Southampton.

When does Leeds United v West Ham kick off?

Leeds v West Ham will kick off at 7:45pm on Wednesday, January 4 2023. The game will be played at Elland Road.
