Preview: Leeds United vs AFC Bournemouth | OneFootball

Leeds United return to Elland Road on Saturday afternoon, where they will take on AFC Bournemouth in a Premier League encounter, with kick-off scheduled for 3pm.

The Whites go into the clash keen to build on last weekend’s impressive 3-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux.

Bouncing back in style from the late defeat at Fulham, Daniel Farke’s side scored three well-taken goals secure all three points in the West Midlands.

Initially behind early on, England international Dominic Calvert-Lewin drew the visitors level with an inventive looping header, before Anton Stach grabbed the headlines with a terrific free-kick that arrowed into the top corner.

Noah Okafor made sure of the points with a low finish into the back of the net, earning a second victory of the new campaign and taking Leeds up to 12th in the Premier League standings.

The Cherries, meanwhile, go into the encounter in West Yorkshire in fine form having collected 10 points from their opening five matches.

Andoni Iraola’s side sit fourth in the table, following last weekend’s goalless draw with Newcastle United.

Prior to that, the South Coast outfit recorded three successive victories, over Wolves, Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton & Hove Albion.

Forward Antoine Semenyo has been in inspired form for Bournemouth so far this term, scoring three times for his team.

The last meeting between the two clubs at Elland Road proved to be a memorable one as the Whites fought from three goals down to impressively seal a 4-3 triumph. On the scoresheet that day were Rodrigo, Sam Greenwood, Liam Cooper and Crysencio Summerville!

Action from Elland Road gets underway at 3pm.
