Leeds sit 16th in the table with eight points from eight matches, just three clear of the relegation zone. Their return to the Premier League has been inconsistent, with two wins, two draws, and four defeats so far. Goals have been hard to come by-just seven in eight games-putting extra strain on their defence. Daniel Farke's men come into this fixture on the back of a 2-0 defeat to Burnley, their third game without a win.

Emanuel Dennis has been linked with a move to West Ham United in recent weeks. However, a report from Daily Mail claims that Nuno Espirito Santo has decided against signing the 27-year-old attacker who is currently a free agent. The player terminated his contract with Nottingham Forest during the summer transfer window. However, he has not been able to find a club yet.

There is potential for a loan move away. West Ham do need 18 or 20 players in their squad, and he is still young. He is a good player, and I'm sure he'll play in all the cup games, but I'm not sure right now if he's at the level that Diouf is. Nuno would like to send him out on loan; it'll be good for his career to play in the Championship. Hopefully, he'll do very well.

With the WSL expanding to 14 teams in 2026-27, the bottom side will play the third-placed finisher in WSL2 for a top-flight spot next year. But that will be of little comfort for two teams who, despite their status and history, look ill-equipped for this campaign. While their records are similarly unimpressive, the reasons for their struggles differ. Two-time top-flight champions Liverpool's problems lie primarily in attack, while West Ham have defensive woes too.

Declan Rice scored against his former club and Bukayo Saka converted from the penalty spot as Arsenal comfortably dispatched West Ham to go top of the Premier League table prior to Liverpool's match later on Saturday. It wasn't all smooth sailing for the home side, however, with captain Martin Ødegaard forced off with an injury in the first-half for the third time this season.

The pressure on Graham Potter at West Ham United has reached boiling point after a dreadful start to the 202526 season. With just one win in their first five Premier League games and mounting frustration from fans, the club hierarchy are reportedly exploring alternative options. Among the frontrunners to replace him is Nuno Espirito Santo, with the Portuguese coach being sounded out as a possible successor, according to The Telegraph.
