Bournemouth vs Leeds: Premier League Match Preview

The Premier League clash at Vitality Stadium in Bournemouth kicks off on 22 April 2026, with Bournemouth hosting Leeds in a Regular Season - 34 fixture. Bournemouth arrive sitting 8th on 48 points with a goal difference of 0, while Leeds are 15th on 39 points and a goal difference of -7.

Bournemouth Availability

Bournemouth face several midfield and attacking concerns. L. Cook (Hamstring Injury) is sidelined. J. Kluivert (Knee Injury) is sidelined. J. Soler (Hamstring Injury) is doubtful. None of Bournemouth’s leading scorers are listed among the absentees, with A. Semenyo (10 league goals, 3 assists) and E. Kroupi (10 league goals) both available to start.

Leeds Availability

Leeds also have key midfield issues. A. Stach (Ankle Injury) is sidelined. D. James (Muscle Injury) is doubtful. Their main attacking threats remain available, including D. Calvert-Lewin (11 league goals, 1 assist) and creative hub B. Aaronson (4 goals, 5 assists).

Impact Summary

Bournemouth lose control and depth in midfield through the absence of L. Cook, while Kluivert’s injury trims their attacking rotation. However, keeping Semenyo and Kroupi fit preserves most of their attacking output. Leeds’ buildup may be disrupted without Stach, and James’ doubtful status removes a potential source of pace, but with Calvert-Lewin and Aaronson available, the visitors retain the bulk of their goal threat and chance creation.
