Leeds United<\/a> return to Elland Road this weekend with home fixture against Andoni Iraola\u2019s Bournemouth<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Daniel Farke has two wins and a draw from his first five Premier League games this season, and it tees up this fixture against high-flying Bournemouth quite nicely.<\/p>\n

Andoni Iraola has masterminded a very bright start to the season once more for the Cherries, but Farke will also be looking to build on his strong start too.<\/p>\n

Chris Sutton predicts scoreline of Leeds United v Bournemouth<\/p>\n

If Chris Sutton\u2019s crystal ball proved to be the deciding factor in Premier League games, Leeds would have just two points this season.<\/p>\n

Having predicted 1-1 draws against Everton and Newcastle United and defeats in the other three fixtures, he\u2019s held quite a pessimistic view of Farke\u2019s Leeds.<\/p>\n

Again, his BBC predictions<\/a> have Leeds on the losing side against Bournemouth, in spite of the fact his gut tells him this is likely to be a draw.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been told I absolutely cannot go for 10 draws this week, which is shame because this game has got draw written all over it,\u201d Sutton wrote.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Despite actually thinking it\u2019ll be a draw and ultimately jotting down a 2-1 defeat, Sutton has been impressed by Leeds of late. However, it makes no difference to his rationale.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cBeing serious, I was very impressed by Leeds\u2019 win over Wolves last time out,\u201d he continued. \u201cIt really surprised me, but it was a brilliant result that showed what they have got to offer under Daniel Farke, and that they are going to give it a real go this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven so, I am backing Bournemouth here. The Cherries were a bit flat against Newcastle last week but they usually create loads of chances and that\u2019s what I am expecting them to do at Elland Road.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Bournemouth a very tough proposition at home for Leeds United<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Bournemouth are level on points with second for a reason after five games. They\u2019ve been that good and are likely to be in contention for European places again this season.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a testament to Iraola. It\u2019s also a case of what could have been at Leeds if he decided to join as Jesse Marsch\u2019s replacement.<\/p>\n

This is by no means a straightforward game for Leeds at al. Any positive result here would be an impressive one.<\/p>\n
