Bournemouth vs Leeds United – Match preview and team news
Bournemouth host Leeds United on Wednesday night as they chase a historic finish to an incredible campaign.
The Cherries chase European qualification after extending their record-breaking unbeaten run to thirteen matches. Recent victories against Arsenal and Newcastle have propelled the side into eighth place. They currently sit level on points with Chelsea and Brentford in a tight table.
However, Andoni Iraola’s side must fix their home form to stay in the continental hunt. They have drawn four consecutive matches at the Vitality Stadium and seek an elusive home win tonight.
Leeds, meanwhile, look to secure their top-flight status following back-to-back victories against Manchester United and Wolves. The Whites carry an eight-point cushion over the relegation zone with five games remaining.
Daniel Farke’s men remain unbeaten in their last five away fixtures in the Premier League. They are looking for their first consecutive top-flight away wins since April 2022. A victory today would likely seal their survival and allow a focus on the upcoming FA Cup semi-final.

Daniel James and Joe Rodon are both fit and available for selection. Anton Stach misses the trip as he recovers from an ankle injury sustained in the FA Cup. Farke expects the rest of the squad to travel to the south coast. Noah Okafor should keep his place after scoring in his last two away games.
