Bournemouth v Leeds: Key stats and talking points

[BBC]

Leeds also seem to enjoy the spring season. They have won all of their past seven league matches in the month of April, keeping five clean sheets and conceding just twice.

Most recent - and arguably most important - was Saturday's 3-0 win over Wolves, which made it back-to-back league wins for the first time this season and earned three vital points which should secure their Premier League safety.

While not yet mathematically certain, but no team has ever been relegated after taking 39 or more points from their first 33 games of a 38-game Premier League season.

Leeds have lost just four of their 15 league games in 2026, with their form revival coinciding with that of Noah Okafor, who also happens to have scored in both of Leeds' away wins in the league this season.

The Swiss striker went 16 consecutive Premier League appearances without a goal or an assist between October and January, but has been involved in six goals across his past five appearances, with five goals and an assist. Only Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes has had more goal involvements since the beginning of February.

April has also provided a long overdue league victory at Old Trafford and a dramatic FA Cup quarter-final win over West Ham. A midweek win over Bournemouth would be the perfect way to prepare for Sunday's semi-final at Wembley, where Leeds are targeting a first FA Cup final for 53 years.
