Leeds United will face Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium this Wednesday night, aiming to grab an away victory in the Premier League. After a convincing 3-0 triumph over Wolverhampton Wanderers in their last match, the Whites will be bolstered by this momentum.
Manager Daniel Farke is likely to employ a 3-4-2-1 formation, keeping alterations to a minimum as he prepares for this match. Consequently, Dominic Calvert-Lewin may take the lead role in the attack.

Karl Darlow will be in goal after a solid performance last time out, keeping a clean sheet. Farke might choose a back three consisting of James Justin, Jaka Bijol, and Pascal Struijk, tasked with fortifying the defense.
Joe Rodon and Sebastiaan Bornauw will serve as defensive options from the bench.
