Premier League 2025-2026: Bournemouth-Leeds, the likely lineups

The Vitality Stadium is preparing to host tonight, Wednesday, April 22, at 9 p.m., the challenge between Bournemouth and Leeds, an advance necessary to allow the Whites to focus on the FA Cup semifinal against Chelsea, scheduled for Sunday 26.

Bournemouth comes to the fixture with 48 points in the standings and high morale after their two consecutive successes against Newcastle and Arsenal, results that confirmed the solidity of the Rossoneri. However, the Dorset team needs to reverse a negative trend at home, where victory has even been missing since January 24. After four consecutive draws at the Vitality Stadium, the home side will try to break the fast precisely against Leeds, trying to do better than the 2-2 draw obtained in the first leg at Elland Road.

Leeds, for its part, is experiencing a crucial phase of the season. Two consecutive Premier League victories, against Manchester United and Wolverhampton, have enabled tonight’s guests to reach 39 points, flying to 15th place. With eight points ahead of the relegation zone, where Tottenham currently sits, Leeds can approach this away game with greater tactical serenity. Coach Daniel Farke’s goal is to get a positive result to get to the FA Cup semifinals in the right spirit, knowing that a misstep could rekindle league table anxieties, but also that a success would definitely secure salvation.

Bournemouth (4-2-3-1): Petrovic; Jimenez, Hill, Senesi, Truffert; Scott, Adams; Rayan, Kroupi, Tavernier; Evanlison. All. Iraola.
