West Ham v Leeds United: Sam Allardyce says game is like a cup final

Manager Sam Allardyce says relegation-threatened Leeds will treat Sunday's Premier League game at West Ham as a "cup final".

Leeds are two points behind 17th-placed Everton, who claimed a last-gasp draw at Wolves on Saturday, and welcome Tottenham to Elland Road on in their final game of the season on 28 May.

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

"[We need to] fight to the end, but fight with the right temperament and have the right amount of control - and certainly don't lose the game plan.
