# Lewis Jones backs West Ham to take the spoils this weekend

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2021/09/24/virals-west-ham-among-options-for-arsenal-striker-alexandre-lacazette/) have been backed to take all three points away from Elland Road this weekend.

The Hammers head to Yorkshire full of confidence having made a [strong start](https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2021/september/16-september/it-happened-dinamo-zagreb-0-2-west-ham-united) to the Premier League and in Europe recently.

David Moyes’ side also bounced straight back from a defeat with a hard-fought [victory in the Carabao Cup](https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2021/september/23-september/highlights-manchester-united-0-1-west-ham-united) in midweek against Manchester United.

Writing in his [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11661/12414470/premier-league-predictions-jones-knows-tips-a-manchester-united-win-but-sees-leicester-slipping-up-vs-burnley) column, journalist Lewis Jones has backed the Irons to prevail over Leeds United on Saturday.

> West Ham did the double over Leeds last season and are perfectly suited to beating a Marcelo Bielsa led team. Leeds can be exposed when faced with dominant teams from set plays and ones that counter-attack clinically. The Hammers excel in both departments and are begging to be backed for the away win here. This will be a bonkers encounter full of space and goalmouth action.

So far this season both the Hammers have been involved in [18 goals](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) whilst and have been conceded 12 and scored five in just five league matches.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

This certainly has all the makings of a classic.

Albeit Leeds have been [badly hit by injury](https://www.teamtalk.com/news/massive-bamford-injury-blow-for-leeds-key-duo-also-doubtful-west-ham-clash) this week, the hosts are sure to put up their usual high-energy fight.

Fresh off the back of [domestic and European](https://www.whufc.com/fixtures/first-team/fixtures-and-results) endeavours, Moyes’ men will have to be well up for the challenge in order to come out on top.

The Scottish manager is likely to welcome [Michail Antonio](https://readwestham.com/2021/09/20/journalist-claims-west-ham-didnt-pursue-a-striker-this-summer/) back into the fold after the 31-year-old missed both clashes with Manchester United.
