Leeds v West Ham United preview: Friday night clash in a relegation fight
Leeds host West Ham on Friday night, a fixture that already looks like a relegation six pointer.
Elland Road is famed for its electric atmosphere, and the setting adds bite to the upcoming 90 minutes.
However, traffic congestion is a factor for everyone traveling to the game.
Leeds council will decide on widening Elland Road to 53 000 on 27 November.
With 65 percent of fans driving to matches, officials fear extra congestion on matchdays.
The club wants to cut car travel to 51 percent, but public transport must improve.
Leeds is the biggest city in western Europe without a metro system.
Cycling is not a realistic option for most supporters given the terrain and distances.
Jarrod Bowen could lead West Ham’s attack on Friday night.
