An enticing FA Cup quarter-final clash awaits as West Ham host Leeds at the London Stadium on Sunday, 5th April 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 4:30 PM BST. Both teams will be eager to put their Premier League struggles aside for the chance to reach Wembley and compete for a coveted spot in the semi-finals of England's most prestigious cup competition.
West Ham vs Leeds Form
The Hammers come into this tie on the back of a disappointing 2-0 away defeat to Aston Villa in their last Premier League outing. Their recent form has been concerning, with the East London side failing to secure a win in their last six matches across all competitions. This run includes three defeats, two draws, and a penalty shootout loss to Brentford in the FA Cup fifth round, which technically ended as a 2-2 draw in regular time. Their solitary point in the league from their last five fixtures highlights a significant dip in performance.
Leeds, meanwhile, also endured a goalless draw at home against Brentford in their most recent league fixture. The Whites' form has been equally inconsistent, with their last six matches yielding one FA Cup victory, three draws, and two league defeats. Their only win in the past two months came in the FA Cup, a convincing 3-0 home triumph over Norwich, following a penalty shootout victory against Birmingham in an earlier round. This indicates a potential focus and resilience in cup competitions.
West Ham vs Leeds Head to Head
The most recent encounter between these two sides saw Leeds emerge victorious with a 2-1 win at home in the Premier League back in October 2025. Looking at their last six meetings, the rivalry has been evenly contested, with West Ham securing three wins, Leeds claiming three victories, and one match ending in a draw. Notably, the Hammers defeated Leeds 2-0 in the FA Cup in January 2022, a result they will hope to replicate in this quarter-final tie.

Prediction: West Ham 2-1 Leeds
This FA Cup quarter-final presents a fascinating contest, with both teams looking for a morale boost away from their league campaigns. While league form has been inconsistent for both, West Ham's recent home record in the FA Cup, including wins over Queens Park Rangers and Brentford (albeit on penalties), suggests they can rise to the occasion. The allure of Wembley should provide ample motivation. Leeds have also found their form in the FA Cup, comfortably dispatching Norwich in the last round, and are bidding for their first semi-final since 1987. However, the Hammers' home advantage, coupled with their desire to maintain their strong unbeaten run at home in recent months, could just tip the balance in their favour. Expect a tight affair, but West Ham's attacking prowess at home should see them through.
