Bournemouth and Leeds United are preparing to lock horns in the Premier League on Wednesday.

It has been a fantastic week for Daniel Farke and those at Elland Road, with wins against both Manchester United and Wolves.

As a result, the gap to the drop zone now sits at eight points, with only 15 left to play for.

Bournemouth currently sit eighth in the standings and are in the hunt for a European place before Andoni Iraola’s departure at the end of the season.

They welcome a Leeds side in fine form to the Vitality Stadium, who know that three more points would all but seal the deal when it comes to their top-flight survival.

How to watch Bournemouth vs Leeds

Wednesday evening is set to carry big implications in all areas of the standings, with Bournemouth and Leeds facing off at the same time as Burnley’s clash with title chasers Manchester City.

With the Cherries in the race for Europe, they could bolster their chances with a win against Farke’s men, who are looking to keep up the momentum before Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea.

Fans not making the long trip down to the south coast will be able to catch the action via Sky Sports Premier League, with coverage starting an hour before.

Alongside this, those on the move will be able to tune in on the Sky Go app and the Sky Sports website, available to all with a Sky Sports subscription.

Leeds must keep up the momentum ahead of Wembley trip

Since returning from the international break, Farke’s side has remained unbeaten, starting with the FA Cup shootout victory against West Ham.

This would be followed by wins against Manchester United and Wolves, with the Whites playing with the freedom not seen during the string of draws before the pause.

Now with survival all but sealed, the opportunity is there to continue playing with that freedom, especially with a big semi-final against Chelsea coming up on Sunday.

Following the ascent from the Championship last May, it has been a sensational campaign for Leeds, who have settled well into Premier League life.

Alongside this, Farke has done a great job of taking the FA Cup seriously, using the competition as a useful momentum builder.

This has resulted in Sunday becoming a monumental occasion for supporters, who get to see their club in an FA Cup semi-final for the first time in 39 years.

With this in mind, the West Yorkshire outfit must keep the pace against Bournemouth, sending them down to London in high spirits.
