Preamble
Which team currently has the longest unbeaten run in any of Europe’s “big five” leagues? Bayern? Barcelona? No, it’s Bournemouth, who haven’t lost in 13 [thirteen] Premier League matches.
Not even Andoni Iraola announcing his summer departure could stop them – if anything, results have improved. Having emerged from trips to the Emirates and St James’ Park with six points in the bag, the Cherries can climb to sixth with a win tonight, a first European campaign within reach.
It could be a historic season for Leeds too – they are unbeaten in six games in all competitions, and will fancy their chances of upsetting Chelsea in the FA Cup semis this weekend. Eight points ahead of Spurs in the relegation battle, a result here would all but secure survival.
The vibes should be immaculate at the Vitality –and there’s plenty going on elsewhere. Ipswich and Middlesbrough need wins to boost their promotion hopes, Atlético and Barcelona are in La Liga action, and it’s only Leverkusen v Bayern in the DFB Pokal semi-finals. Let’s roll!
