West Ham United will host Leeds United on Sunday hoping to get a positive result in order to make it to the 4th round of the FA Cup.
However, the Peacocks will be heading to the London Stadium keen on avenging the 2-1 loss suffered against the Hammers in an earlier meeting in the Premier League and also eliminating the London side from the annual competition.
The Londoners have won two of their last three home FA Cup ties and lost once in regulation time. BetKing have tipped them to win the game at (1.70).
The visitors have not won away in the competition in the last five games. It explains why they have been tipped to advance at (4.75).
Chances of getting a draw in regulation time are priced at (4.00).
Said Benrahma is definitely out for the hosts after joining Algeria for the Afcon. Michail Antonio is a doubt, while Angelo Ogbonnna and Kurt Zouma are out nursing injuries. Pablo Fornals and Aaron Cresswell are also not expected to be involved.
The Whites are missing Liam Cooper, Kalvin Philips, Rodrigo Moreno, Pascal Struijk, Charlie Cresswell, and Jamie Shackleton who are out for a long time owing to injuries. Recently, Joe Gelhardt and Tyler Roberts were also sidelined. Despite returning to training, Patrick Bamford is not expected to be on the team.
This is the first FA Cup meeting between West Ham and Leeds since January 1930, with the Hammers winning a fourth-round tie 4-1 back then.
The Peacocks have lost their last three meetings with West Ham in all competitions.
The Hammers have won just one of their last 19 FA Cup matches against fellow Premier League sides, drawing eight and losing 10.
Leeds have lost each of their last five FA Cup matches, going out at this stage of the competition in each of the last four campaigns.
The Whites have conceded six goals in their last three meetings with the Hammers.
They have managed to score just two goals in the process. But with their current form, more goals are expected.
Pundits can take an offer of over 2.5 goals at (1.60) with BetKing.
