Leeds United return to Premier League action on Saturday afternoon, making the journey south to take on AFC Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.
Daniel Farke's side will be looking to produce a positive performance against the Cherries, who are managed by Marco Rose, with both teams aiming to claim valuable points in the top flight.
With the fixture fast approaching, our friends at OPTA Stats have provided seven facts and figures to get Whites supporters ready for the latest Premier League encounter.
1. Leeds difficult to beat
Just two defeats have been recorded across the last 17 Premier League matches for Leeds United, alongside six victories and nine draws. Five of the last seven league fixtures have finished level, demonstrating the consistency of Daniel Farke's side.
2. One of the best defensive records
Only Arsenal (five) have conceded fewer Premier League goals than Leeds United (six) this season. The Gunners are also the only team to have scored more than once against the Whites in the opening eight matches.
Leeds have conceded from just 5.3 per cent of shots faced (6/114), the lowest proportion in the division.
3. Trafford leads goalkeeping charts
An impressive 82.4 per cent save rate places James Trafford top of the Premier League rankings this season. The Leeds United goalkeeper has made 30 saves, the second-highest total in the competition.
Opta's expected goals on target model also places Trafford third for goals prevented, with a figure of 1.9.
4. Leeds dominated the early meetings
Ten victories from the first 13 league meetings with Bournemouth were recorded by Leeds United, alongside two draws and just one defeat.
Bournemouth are currently unbeaten across the last three meetings, but the historical record remains firmly in favour of the Yorkshire club.
5. Goals are almost guaranteed in this fixture
An average of five goals per game has been recorded across the four Premier League meetings between Bournemouth and Leeds United, with 20 goals scored in total.
That is the joint-highest goals-per-game average of any fixture played more than twice in Premier League history.
Both encounters last season finished 2-2, including the most recent meeting at the Vitality Stadium, when Sean Longstaff scored a dramatic 97th-minute equaliser.
6. Bournemouth concede high rate facing few shots
Only Nottingham Forest (81) have faced fewer shots than Bournemouth (84) in the Premier League this season.
However, 13 goals have been conceded by the Cherries, with an opposition shot conversion rate of 15.5 per cent representing the highest figure in the division.
7. Farke holds unbeaten record against Rose
Saturday's meeting between Daniel Farke and Marco Rose brings together two managers with previous Bundesliga experience.
Four previous meetings between the pair have produced one victory for Farke and three draws, with no defeats. Farke's teams have scored five goals and conceded four across those encounters.
Both managers previously faced each other during the 2022/23 Bundesliga season, when Farke was in charge of Borussia Mönchengladbach and Rose managed RB Leipzig. Both fixtures ended in 3-0 home victories.
