Match Prediction: Leeds United 2-1 AFC Bournemouth

Leeds United are coming into this match on a bit of a rollercoaster. They've had some solid wins against Wolves and Everton, showing they can be a force at home.

Bournemouth, on the other hand, have been pretty consistent lately. They've managed to hold Newcastle to a draw and beat Brighton and Tottenham. Their only hiccup was against Liverpool, but that's no shame. Bournemouth will likely play a tight game, trying to exploit any Leeds mistakes on the counter.

Leeds have shown they can be dangerous home and away, beating Wolves and Everton. But those away losses to Fulham and Arsenal might be playing on their minds. They'll need to be sharp and focused to take advantage of their home ground. If they can keep their heads, they've got a good chance of coming out on top.

• Predicted lineup: Darlow, Bogle (if fit), Rodon, Struijk, Gudmundsson, Stach, Ampadu, Longstaff, Aaronson, Calvert-Lewin, Okafor

With Bogle and Gudmundsson on the flanks, Leeds will look to stretch the play and create chances. Ampadu and Longstaff in midfield will need to control the game and provide the platform for the attackers.

• Predicted lineup: Petrovic, Jiménez, Diakité, Senesi, Truffert, Adams, Scott, Semenyo, Tavernier, Brooks, Evanilson

Bournemouth's backline will be key to stopping Leeds' attacks. In attack, Semenyo, Tavernier, and Evanilson will look to exploit any gaps and hit Leeds on the break.

• Anton Stach vs Tyler Adams: Stach's pace and trickery will be tested by Adams' defensive solidity.

• Dominic Calvert-Lewin vs Marcos Senesi: Calvert-Lewin's physicality will be up against Senesi's strength and positioning.

• Brenden Aaronson (Leeds United): Aaronson's creativity and work rate could be crucial for Leeds.
