West Ham United v Leeds United: Sam Allardyce says game is 'do or die' for visitors

Leeds manager Sam Allardyce says Sunday's Premier League game at West Ham is "do or die" for his relegation-threatened side.

The Yorkshire club are two points adrift of 17th-placed Everton after the Toffees' last-gasp draw at Wolves on Saturday, but victory at London Stadium would lift Leeds out of the bottom three heading into the final day of the campaign.

Allardyce's team welcome Tottenham to Elland Road next Sunday, but the 68-year-old says the West Ham game needs to be treated like a "cup final".

"We have to deliver a three-point scenario to try to save our Premier League status," he said.
