Leeds United vs West Bromwich Albion prediction, preview, team news and more | Premier League 2020-21
In their final Premier League game of the season, Leeds United aim to make it four wins on the trot when they welcome West Bromwich Albion to Elland Road on Sunday.
The relegated visitors are currently on a three-game losing streak and will be desperate to end this dire run.
Leeds United continued their impressive run of results last time out when they claimed a 2-0 win over Southampton.
In an end-to-end affair, second-half goals from Patrick Bamford and Tyler Roberts were enough to condemn the Saints to their 18th league defeat.
The result confirmed Leeds’ top-half finish in the Premier League, 12 months after Marcelo Bielsa’s men gained promotion from the Championship.
Leeds United are seated in 10th place in the league table, four points ahead of Aston Villa and two behind ninth-placed Arsenal.
Meanwhile, West Bromwich Albion fell to another defeat when they lost 3-1 to West Ham United last time out.
Matheus Pereira continued his stellar campaign by opening the scoring. But goals from Tomas Soucek, Angelo Ogbonna and Michail Antonio helped the Hammers turn the game on its head.
The Baggies have now suffered three straight losses and failed to win in their last six outings. With 26 points from 37 games, West Bromwich Albion are second-bottom in the log, two points behind relegated Fulham.
