Leeds United take on AFC Bournemouth away from home on Sunday (2pm), in game number 34 of their Premier League season.
The Whites come into the match on the back of a 1-1 draw with Leicester City last time out and will now be looking to claim three points which would move them up points wise, if not position, in the Premier League table.
Javi Gracia’s side currently sit 16th in the league, one place above Nottingham Forest and one point above Leicester. The hosts, Bournemouth, have risen to 14th spot by gaining points in recent matches, most recently with a victory over Southampton.
This is the first league fixture in which the two teams have met on the South Coast since 2014. In that one, Leeds ran out 3-1 winners thanks to goals from Souleymane Doukara, Giuseppe Bellusci and Mirco Antenucci. You can read more about that, here.
More recently, when the teams met at Elland Road, United produced a stunning comeback to battle from 3-1 down to win the match 4-3. With 30 minutes remaining, Sam Greenwood, Liam Cooper and dramatically, Crysencio Summerville scored the goals late on to claim the points that day.

What has Javi Gracia said, ahead of the match?
