Fit-again West Ham star Aaron Cresswell has outlined the difficulty in facing Leeds United but is hopeful of a second quickfire Irons victory against Marcelo Bielsa's side.

Cresswell sat out Sunday's third round FA Cup tie between the Irons and Whites at the London Stadium, the left back having been sidelined since the end of November due to a lower back injury.

The 32-year-old looked on as David Moyes' side recorded a 2-0 victory and three days later Cresswell returned straight to the Hammers starting line up for Wednesday night's league hosting of Norwich City.

A brace from Jarrod Bowen gave West Ham another 2-0 triumph and Cresswell is now optimistic of recording a second victory in quick succession against a Leeds side who he says are hard to face.
