Dave is a huge Leeds fan and ardent disciple of Bielsa ball. A career in print magazines that included editing PC Zone, launching PokerPlayer and redesigning The Big Issue has finally led Dave to writing about the love of his life, Leeds United. It’s been a tough 2020 but the single scariest moment was the first quarter of the game against Man City. Rodrigo will be the saviour this season.

A club insider has said that David Moyes will make five changes to the West Ham side that will face Burnley on Saturday afternoon.

The ExWHU employee Twitter account, which is a solid source of West Ham information, posted the news on Friday night.

He also claimed that just one of these changes would be because of injury – the season-ending one sustained by Winston Reid in last week's game against Swansea. The rest would be tactical.

Tactical reasons apart from Winston Reid is out injured so obviously that one is injury based the other 4 are not injury based https://t.co/2DLCu8P3AI

One of these was confirmed by David Moyes last night, when he revealed that Joe Hart would retake his place in goal from Adrian.
