There\u2019s a different kind of tension to Sunday afternoon\u2019s FA Cup<\/a> quarter-final as West Ham<\/a> host Leeds United<\/a> at the London Stadium, with a 16:30 GMT kick-off and a place at Wembley hanging in the balance.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For West Ham, this represents a real opportunity to turn a rocky campaign into something memorable, while Leeds arrive with nothing to lose and plenty to gain. That dynamic often makes for unpredictable cup ties, especially when momentum swings and emotion take over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

West Ham to Win & Both Teams To Score<\/strong><\/td>12\/5 @ Bet365
<\/a>(29.4%)<\/td>		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>West Ham\u2019s physicality and set-piece threat could prove decisive, particularly at home, but Leeds\u2019 aggressive style and willingness to commit bodies forward should see them create opportunities of their own.<\/td><\/tr>

(54.5%)<\/td>		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>Both teams will favour forward-thinking football in this competitive fixture, and that should open the game up. If Leeds press high and West Ham play through it, transitions at both ends should lead to chances and, ultimately, goals.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
