Moyes preview
David Moyes has confirmed that West Ham have “a few injuries” to contend with ahead of Sunday’s clash with Leeds United. The Hammers booked their place in the Europa Conference League final on Thursday night by winning the second leg against AZ Alkmaar.
West Ham are six points clear of the relegation zone with just two games remaining. Moyes dismissed concerns about criticism he could face for his squad rotation, insisting “you have to do what you think is right”.
Speaking of Leeds, his pre-match press conference, he told the BBC: “It’s an incredibly difficult game but we think we can still climb the table if we win the games”
Dyche rejects the advantage
Everton boss Sean Dyche has played down the importance of Everton playing Leeds United, Nottingham Forest and Leicester City this weekend. The Caramels could in theory secure their Premier League status for next season if both of the aforementioned sides fail to win their respective matches.
Everton face Wolves on Saturday before Forest host Arsenal at the City Ground. Leeds face West Ham United in Sunday’s early kick-off and Leicester City take on Newcastle at St James’ Park on Monday.
Breathe said the echo of liverpool: “That’s the way Premier League games are pitched, that’s how it is with Sky and TV. It’s fair to say, I think there’s a balanced view that everybody in the Premier League wants the money that comes from the TV rights, so if they change the schedule, that’s the way you have to stick, that’s it.”

Regarding West Ham, what was the best possible result for you last night?
Winning. There is no doubt about that. It means they have to think about the end and subconsciously you never know if that can affect the players in terms of when they go out and play. They will go out and give it their all, but subconsciously they won’t want to get hurt.
Surely someone would worry that I wouldn’t want to miss a final, so there might be a little more caution, who knows. My job is for my team to play as well as possible against any team against West Ham that is good enough to try and win the game.
