Leeds United welcome Bournemouth to their Elland Road fortress on Saturday, aiming to continue a perfect home record against the Cherries.
Daniel Farke’s side have won all seven of their previous home league games against Bournemouth, a 100% record they will be determined to protect against the high-flying visitors.
The team’s defensive record at home has been the cornerstone of their solid start to life back in the Premier League. They are yet to concede a goal at Elland Road this season. After finding their scoring touch against Wolves last weekend, they will be confident of securing another positive result in front of their own fans.
Daniel Farke faces a number of fitness doubts ahead of Saturday, with Jayden Bogle, Daniel James, and Wilfried Gnonto all needing late assessments.
Goalkeeper Lucas Perri remains sidelined, so Karl Darlow will continue in goal. The influence of captain Ethan Ampadu cannot be overstated; the team’s win percentage is significantly higher when he starts.
Up front, Dominic Calvert-Lewin will lead the line with renewed confidence after scoring last weekend, supported by Noah Okafor.
Leeds United predicted XI: Darlow; Bogle, Rodon, Struijk, Gudmundsson; Stach, Ampadu, Longstaff; Aaronson, Calvert-Lewin, Okafor.
The Premier League fixture will be played at Elland Road on Saturday, 27 September 2025, with kick-off scheduled for 3:00 pm BST.
The match will not be broadcast live in the UK due to the 3:00 pm Saturday blackout.
