Separated by just two points after eight games, Bournemouth welcome Leeds United to the Vitality Stadium with both teams seeking to build early-season momentum.
Marco Rose's Bournemouth sit 13th on 9 points after 8 games, having turned their early fortunes around in emphatic fashion. The Cherries arrive on a run of five consecutive victories in all competitions without conceding a single goal, moving within striking distance of the top half after beating Sunderland 2-0 in their last league outing.
Daniel Farke's Leeds sit 7th on 11 points after 8 games, having made a solid start built largely on defensive discipline. However, Leeds have found wins hard to convert on the road and are currently on a four-match winless streak away from home, having drawn 1-1 with Manchester United and 0-0 with Crystal Palace in recent weeks.
