West Ham have described it as a "dynamic" decision based on security and will only be confirmed if needed. Leeds have already won a shoot-out at Birmingham City this season while West Ham won on penalties into the away end at home in front of 5,000 Brentford fans. Leeds were in complete control after that point, but after two West Ham goals in ELEVEN minutes of added-on time, the game went to extra time.
