Leeds have been performing well lately, effectively guaranteeing their place in the Premier League for next season, even before their match against Bournemouth on Wednesday at 3 pm ET. This is crucial, especially with the club set to compete in their first FA Cup semifinal in 39 years on Sunday.

Under Daniel Farke’s leadership, Leeds has accumulated eight points from their last four matches (2 wins and 2 draws), pulling away from relegation fears by extending their lead to eight points with just five games remaining, although they remain in 15th place in the standings. Dominic Calvert-Lewin is making a strong bid for a spot in England’s World Cup squad, having netted 11 goals in the Premier League this season, in addition to his contribution in the FA Cup quarterfinal win against West Ham.
Bournemouth is deeply engaged in the race for European competition, with aspirations to break into 6th place and secure a spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League—especially if Aston Villa, currently in 4th, wins the Europa League. They are riding a 13-match unbeaten streak (6 wins, 7 draws) under the guidance of head coach Andoni Iraola, who has announced he will part ways with the club when his contract ends this summer. The club has confirmed that Marco Rose, previously of Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig, will succeed him as head coach this summer.
