West Ham United and Leeds United meet at the London Stadium on Sunday in the final FA Cup quarter-final. Leeds arrive looking to build on a comfortable fifth-round win and edge closer to a first semi-final appearance in over two decades. Meanwhile, the Hammers needed penalties to get past Brentford in the previous round after a chaotic 2-2 draw in normal time.
Jarrod Bowen scored twice, but West Ham were pegged back on both occasions before holding their nerve from the spot. That result sent them into their first FA Cup quarter-final for 10 years and offered a welcome lift in what has otherwise been a difficult season. League form remains the bigger concern for West Ham, as they are still stuck in the relegation fight.
Leeds reached the quarterfinal stage with much less drama, beating Norwich City 3-0 at Elland Road thanks to goals from Sean Longstaff, Gabriel Gudmundsson and Joel Piroe. Since then, though, Daniel Farke’s side have struggled for goals in the league, playing out goalless draws with Crystal Palace and Brentford.

Both Teams to Score holds value here because this has the feel of a proper cup tie where both sides should have spells on top. West Ham have not been keeping many clean sheets at the London Stadium, while Leeds are capable of creating chances. With a place at Wembley on the line and two teams unlikely to sit back for 90 minutes, there is a good chance both sides find a way onto the scoresheet. Over 2.5 goals also appeals here as this should be an open and competitive knockout game.
West Ham to advance looks a good play because they seem to have regained some resilience at the London Stadium. Their home form has been stronger than their overall league position suggests. Leeds are a dangerous side and will not make it easy, but West Ham’s recent form on home soil gives them a slight advantage in a tie that could be decided by fine margins.
