Leeds United bring their Premier League campaign to a close on Sunday with a trip to the capital to face West Ham United, and the numbers suggest Daniel Farke’s side head into the contest with genuine momentum.
Ahead of the fixture at the London Stadium, OPTA Stats' data highlights encouraging signs for the Whites, who have quietly built one of their strongest runs of the season at just the right time.
From long-term historical trends to recent form and head-to-head records, the statistics highlight a team performing with confidence, resilience and consistency.
1. Unbeaten momentum building
Leeds are currently unbeaten in their last eight Premier League matches (four wins and four draws), underlining the consistency they have found at a crucial stage of the campaign. It is their longest such run in the competition since 2001, highlighting just how rare and impressive this stretch has been. Momentum often proves decisive in final-day fixtures, and Leeds arrive in the capital with confidence and rhythm firmly on their side.
2. Strong recent form
The Whites have picked up three wins from their last five league matches, alongside two draws, showing both attacking threat and resilience. Victories over Wolves, Burnley and Brighton demonstrate their ability to beat teams in different scenarios, while draws against Bournemouth and Spurs show they can remain competitive even when not at their best. This well-rounded form gives Leeds a solid platform heading into the weekend.
3. Finishing the season strongly
Historically, Leeds have been a side that performs well on the final day of a Premier League season. They have lost just two of their 15 final matches in the competition, and notably, both defeats came in relegation campaigns. In seasons where they are secure, Leeds have consistently delivered positive results, suggesting they are well-equipped to handle the occasion once again.
4. Chasing a historic double
After securing a 2-1 victory at Elland Road earlier in the season, Leeds now have the opportunity to complete their first Premier League double over West Ham since the 2002/03 campaign. Achieving a league double is always a significant milestone, and doing so away from home on the final day would underline the progress made under Daniel Farke this season.
5. Excellent away record in this fixture
Leeds have historically enjoyed trips to face West Ham, winning seven away Premier League matches against the Hammers - more than they have managed against any other opponent on the road. This strong record at the London Stadium and its predecessors provides a psychological boost, reinforcing belief that they can once again take a positive result away from home.
6. Positive head-to-head history
Across all Premier League meetings between the two sides, Leeds have come out on top 16 times compared to West Ham’s six wins. With 44 goals scored in those encounters, the Whites have consistently found a way to impose themselves in this fixture. That historical edge offers added confidence heading into another chapter of this rivalry.
7. Opponents struggling for form
In contrast to Leeds’ upward trajectory, West Ham come into the match having lost each of their last three Premier League games. That run of results suggests vulnerability, and Leeds will look to capitalise on the difference in form as they aim to finish the season strongly.
