Bournemouth vs Leeds United is available to watch live in the United States. TV channel and live stream options are listed below.
Bournemouth host Leeds United at the Vitality Stadium in a Premier League fixture that pits one of the division's form sides against a team quietly building something credible in west Yorkshire.
Marco Rose's Cherries arrive on the back of a remarkable run. Five wins from five across all competitions, including a 3-0 dismantling of Manchester United at Old Trafford and a 3-0 Europa League victory over AC Milan, have made Bournemouth one of the most watchable teams in the country right now.
Leeds sit seventh in the table after eight matches, a respectable return for a side adjusting to life back in the top flight. Daniel Farke's team have shown they can grind out results, drawing 0-0 at Sunderland in their most recent outing and holding Manchester United to a 1-1 draw the week before.
Much of Leeds' defensive resilience has been built around goalkeeper James Trafford, the £40 million summer signing from Manchester City's academy who Farke has publicly tipped as a future England number one. His shot-stopping at the Stadium of Light last weekend underlined why the club invested so heavily in the position.
At the other end, Bournemouth's attacking depth has been a constant threat. Justin Kluivert and Evanilson lead a forward line capable of punishing any defensive lapse, and the Vitality Stadium has become a difficult venue to visit this season.
Bournemouth sit 13th in the standings, but their form over the past five matches tells a very different story. This is a side with momentum, European commitments, and the confidence that comes from beating elite opposition. Leeds will need to be at their best to take anything from the south coast.
