West Ham vs Leeds kick-off time

West Ham vs Leeds kicks off on 5 Apr at 11:30 EST and 16:30 GMT.

Match preview

West Ham have looked a different side since mid-January. Their turnaround really started with that extra-time win over QPR in the FA Cup third round at the London Stadium. Still, they went into the March international break on the back of a missed opportunity in the Premier League - losing 2–0 at Villa Park when a win would have taken them above Tottenham Hotspur, and the scoreline arguably flattered Aston Villa.

Leeds, meanwhile, have been solid but not spectacular. They’ve struggled to turn performances into wins in the Premier League, which has held them back, but they’ve become very hard to beat - sometimes almost too stubborn. Daniel Farke has shifted his approach compared to his time at Norwich, and while it’s brought better results, the balance isn’t perfect yet. As things stand, they’re hovering just outside the relegation zone.

Key stats & injury news

For West Ham, former Leeds man Crysencio Summerville has been in great form but he’s out until later this month, and Jean-Clair Todibo is also a doubt.

Leeds have a few concerns of their own. Gabriel Gudmundsson is back from suspension but now faces an injury worry, while Noah Okafor sat out Switzerland’s second friendly during the break - though it doesn’t look like he’s carrying a knock.

Looking at form, the two sides are fairly evenly matched recently, but West Ham have the historical edge. Leeds have struggled away from home with a 1–7–7 record, though they usually keep games competitive. West Ham, meanwhile, tend to make the most of the London Stadium, having avoided defeat in four of their last five home meetings with Leeds.

How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

  • Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
  • Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
