Leeds United return to Premier League action this weekend as they welcome AFC Bournemouth to Elland Road on Saturday afternoon.

The Whites go into the encounter with the Cherries having picked up an important 3-1 victory over Wolves last time out, leaving boss Daniel Farke pleased with how the team bounced back from defeat at Fulham previously.

“Especially for the offensive players, there is no replacement for goals and to score goals and to be there with end products with goals is always very beneficial,” the German told the press.

“You could also feel it coming in the games before when you are within the group with the hard work on the training pitch.

“Yes, of course, to have a moment in the game when you score three goals before the half time is then very beneficial.

“It is definitely good also for the belief of my offensive players and the belief of the whole group. And there are no replacement for wins, no replacements for goals, and for that it was definitely a good weekend for us.

“We take it game after game. So, of course, we know that we have two home games against two sides who will be really, really strong and we focus and concentrate right now on Bournemouth.

“We know that they played a really good last season. They finished in the top half of the table, I think in position nine.

“A top start also, not just in terms of results, but also in terms of performances into this season. They fully deserve to be in the top four at the moment.

“It is a really good side. They play with lots of intensity. Andoni [Iraola] deserves lots of praise for the work that he has done. They are difficult to beat, they play with intensity and also with belief and are capable to score goals.

“Again, we have to be at our very best in order to give ourselves a chance to win some points in this game.”
