Predicted line-ups, prediction and how to watch for Bournemouth vs Leeds: everything you need to know before the game.
Bournemouth host Leeds United at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday 31 October, with kick-off at 3pm UK time, in Premier League Matchweek 9.
The Cherries sit 13th on 9 points. The Whites arrive in seventh with 11, just two points ahead.
Match preview
Bournemouth were slow starters. Nine points from eight games leaves them 13th with a goal difference of -1. They arrive in form, though, having won their last five matches across the Premier League, Europa League and League Cup without conceding.
The run includes a 3-0 win over Aston Villa in the League Cup on Wednesday, a 3-0 victory at Old Trafford against Manchester United, a 3-0 win over AC Milan in the Europa League, a 2-0 success against Sunderland and a 3-0 win over Sturm Graz. That is 14 goals scored and none conceded.
Home form is less convincing. The Cherries have won one, drawn two and lost one of their four league games at the Vitality, scoring five and conceding four. They have won only two of their last 11 league matches in front of their own fans.
Marcus Tavernier leads the scoring with five goals. Evanilson has three, while Justin Kluivert and Rayan support him from the attacking midfield positions.
Leeds arrive in seventh with 11 points and a goal difference of +3. They have won two, drawn five and lost one. Their only defeat was a 2-1 loss at Arsenal on 10 October.
Their last five league games brought three draws, one defeat and one win: 0-0 at Sunderland, 1-1 with Manchester United, 1-2 against Arsenal, 0-0 with Crystal Palace and a 4-1 victory over Newcastle.
On the road, Leeds have won one, drawn two and lost one from four, scoring three and conceding three. Dominic Calvert-Lewin is their top scorer with three goals.
Recent meetings have produced plenty of goals. The last four league clashes yielded 20 in total: 2-2 at Bournemouth in April, 2-2 at Elland Road in September 2025, a 4-1 Cherries win in April 2023 and a 4-3 Leeds victory in November 2022.
The game pits Bournemouth at their best this season against a Leeds side that have drawn five of their eight league matches and conceded only six goals.

Team news
Bournemouth remain without Julian Araujo and Alex Scott, both with thigh injuries, and Alex Toth, who has a muscle problem. Eli Junior Kroupi is available, although Sports Mole reports he is not yet ready to start. Petrovic is set to return in goal after Di Gregorio's first domestic outing.
Leeds are without Mateo Joseph (knee) and Joe Rodon (muscle injury). Anton Stach has a foot problem and will be assessed late. Nico Elvedi missed the 0-0 draw at Sunderland through illness, is listed as a doubt and is expected to return. Daniel James is also questionable with a back issue.
Calvert-Lewin and Noah Okafor were both minor doubts last weekend, but each featured at Sunderland.
We think Bournemouth will edge it 1-0. They arrive on five straight wins without conceding, while Leeds have drawn five times and give little away. We expect a tight contest decided by a single goal, although the recent 2-2 draws between these sides mean a more open game cannot be ruled out.
