Leeds occupy fifteenth place and sit eight points clear of the drop zone. They are the only top-flight side to win back-to-back games this week. Farke remains unbeaten against Bournemouth in three previous Premier League meetings. Despite this, Leeds lost 4–1 on their last visit to the Vitality Stadium. They must maintain their current focus to avoid another South Coast slip.
The Whites are currently enjoying their longest unbeaten away run in twenty-five years. They have not lost on the road in five Premier League matches. This streak extends to eight games across all competitions during an impressive period. A victory today would likely guarantee another year in the top division. Meanwhile, it would also build momentum for their upcoming FA Cup semi-final clash.
Leeds United team news
Daniel Farke has confirmed that Daniel James and Joe Rodon are fit. Both players have returned to team training following spells on the sidelines. However, the encounter comes too soon for German midfielder Anton Stach. He remains out with an ankle injury sustained against West Ham. The manager expects the rest of the squad to be available for selection.
Karl Darlow continues in goal while the regular outfield starters return. James Justin should start at right-back after his stunning goal against Wolves. Pascal Struijk and Jaka Bijol will form the central defensive partnership today. Joe Rodon is fit but might start on the bench following injury. In his absence, Ethan Ampadu has led the side with great composure.
Noah Okafor has been the catalyst for Leeds’ recent away success. He scored in the historic win at Old Trafford and at Molineux. Dominic Calvert-Lewin seeks to score in a fourth straight away game tonight. Brenden Aaronson and Ao Tanaka will provide the energy in a 4-4-2 setup. They must disrupt Bournemouth’s possession-based style to find success on the counter.
