and live on Freeview channel 276
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.

"Leeds are always a difficult team to play against,” said Cresswell, speaking to whufc.com“It’s always very high intensity and I thought the lads did well against them on Sunday in the FA Cup, so there’s no reason we can’t repeat that.
“We’re looking forward to the game.”
