Leeds United will clash heads with Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium this Wednesday night as they look to secure a win on the road in the Premier League. The Whites managed to secure an impressive 3-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers recently, so they would be full of confidence heading into this clash this week.
Daniel Farke will set his side up in a 3-4-2-1 formation and is expected to keep changes to a minimum for this game. Hence, Dominic Calvert-Lewin could get the nod to lead the charge for the Whites up top.
Karl Darlow will feature in between the sticks for the Whites after keeping a clean sheet in his last outing. Farke could opt for a back three of James Justin, Jaka Bijol and Pascal Struijk as they look to keep the opposition at bay during the 90 minutes.
Joe Rodon and Sebastiaan Bornauw will provide cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Ao Tanaka and Ethan Ampadu will anchor the midfield for the West Yorkshire club as they look to make life difficult for the home team at the centre of the park and engineer some clear-cut chances for their teammates to score.
Gabriel Gudmundsson will try to make a difference as the left-sided wide player, while Jayden Bogle looks to prove his worth on the right flank. Both of them will have to make some overlapping runs out in the wide areas.
Noah Okafor and Brenden Aaronson will operate as Farke’s attacking midfielders. They would both have to carry most of the creative burden for Leeds in the final third.
Sean Longstaff and Wilfried Gnonto will be named on the bench as they await their chance to influence the game in the second 45 minutes if needed.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin will lead the line for the Whites in the final third. He has to find a way to cause a lot of problems for the Bournemouth defenders during the 90 minutes.
Lukas Nmecha will be available for selection on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the latter stages of the contest if the Whites are in need of a goal by then.
