Sunday throws up a Championship clash that years ago would have been a regular meeting in the Premier League, as West Ham United host Leeds United at Upton Park in a mouth-watering fixture (West Ham 7/10, draw 13/5, Leeds United 4/1 Match Prices).
These two sides are arguably two of the biggest and best supported clubs in the second tier of English football this season and there will be an electric atmosphere when these two giants meet.
West Ham found out that getting out of the Championship may be no easy task after they suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Cardiff City in their opening game of the season.
However, manager Sam Allardyce and his players have responded well from their disappointing loss to the Bluebirds and secured victories over Watford and Doncaster Rovers in their last two outings.
The Hammers could be boosted by striker John Carew, who is set to make his debut for the club following his summer move to Upton Park.
Carew (11/2 First Goalscorer) will add some extra power up front and with his physical presence he is bound to cause a less than reliable Leeds defence problems on Sunday.
As for the Whites they have come through a torrid spell at the start of the season where they lost their opening two games to Southampton and Middlesbrough, before securing a 4-1 win in their last outing against Yorkshire rivals Hull City.
A lack of movement in the summer transfer window has been a major concern for Leeds fans with 34-year-old midfielder Michael Brown being the only permanent outfield signing since the end of the last campaign in which the West Yorkshire outfit finished seventh in the table.
Many believe Leeds over-achieved in the Championship last season and their early form this term would back that claim, as the Whites have struggled with key strikers Luciano Becchio and Davide Somma both out with long-term injuries.
However there were plenty of positives to take out of the win over Hull, with Adam Clayton looking strong in midfield alongside the Honduran international Ramon Nunez (5/2 Anytime Scorer), who has scored three goals already this season.
Loan-man Andy Keogh showed promise in his first game for Leeds on his return, having made one appearance before being sold by former manager Kevin Blackwell in 2005.
This should be an exciting game between two very attacking sides, who do have frailties at the back so expect plenty of action on goal.
With the Hammers at home they should come out on top in this one but it would not be surprising to see Leeds come away from the capital with a draw if the likes of Max Gradel and Robert Snodgrass enjoy time and space on the ball at Upton Park.
In Sunday’s other game, Middlesbrough host Birmingham City at the Riverside, with the home side hoping to continue their unbeaten start to the season (Middlesbrough 21/20, draw 12/5, Birmingham City 13/5 Match Prices).
Seven points from nine spells out a strong start by the former Premier League outfit who underachieved last term.
As for the Blues they have won one and lost one in their opening two games of the Championship with new manager Chris Hughton looking to take his side back to the top flight as quickly as possible.
This will be another close encounter but Birmingham might just bag all three points in this one with the extra quality they possess in their squad.
