Leeds travel to Bournemouth looking to add to Saturday's win.

Leeds United travel to Dean Court to face Bournemouth on Tuesday on the back of their first victory in seven games. The Whites secured three points for the first time since February 8th when they beat Millwall 2-1 on Saturday.

A terrible run of six games without a win saw Leeds slip to 15th in the table but the recent home win against Millwall saw the Whites climb back to 13th. Victory against Bournemouth on Tuesday would see Leeds climb above their opponents in the table, with a game in hand still to play. 

News that the Football League have rejected Massimo Cellino's bid to take over the club has led to questions being raised over the future of the club. The Italian businessman failed the 'fit and proper' test leaving owners GFH searching for a new buyer. Brain McDermott has once more called for stability at the Whites and insisted he is the man to take Leeds forward. 

A victory for United and results going in their favour could see them move to within nine points of the play-offs but many fans had given that dream up as long ago as January. 
The scrappy victory against Millwall was only the third time Leeds have won a game in 2014.

Eddie Howe's men head into the game on the back of an injury time win over Barnsley which saw them move up to 11th in the division. The Cherries have conceded just once in their last six games and six of their last ten games has ended 1-0 to either side. A run of three wins in five has seen Bournemouth move well clear of the drop zone. 

Of the sides promoted from League 1 last season, Bournemouth are proving to have adapted to the Championship a lot better. While Doncaster and Yeovil fight for survival the Cherries are on course to finish the season in the top half of the table and their more optimistic fans may even say they are in with a shout for a play-off spot as they sit 10 points from 6th. 

Bournemouth have won more of their games at home than away and have made Dean Court a difficult place for travelling teams to go to. Lewis Grabban is the clubs top goalscorer with 15 so far this season and he will be looking to add to the goal he scored against Leeds earlier in the season. 

Leeds have never lost to Bournemouth in 10 meetings and two 0-0 draws in 1988 is the best the Cherries have managed against the Yorkshire club. The Whites have won their last six in a row against Tuesday's opponents with the most recent victory coming at Elland Road in October 2013. 

The most famous meeting between the sides came in 1990 when Leeds won 1-0 at Bournemouth on May 5th. The victory gave Leeds the Division Two Title and promotion back to the top flight after an eight year absence. Unfortunately the date is also associated with Leeds fans running riot in Bournemouth, causing damage and clashing with police. 

The sides last met at Dean Court in 2007 when Leeds ran out 3-1 winners as Tresor Kandol bagged a brace. Dom Poleon sealed the three points for the Whites in the most recent meeting between the sides. 

News that Connor Wickham had been recalled by Sunderland on Monday morning was not what Leeds wanted to hear at the start of the week. This followed by the Football League rejecting Massimo Cellino's takeover means the week has already been a difficult one for Leeds fans and it's only Monday.

Matt Smith is a man in form for Leeds as he has bagged three goals in four games for the Whites. Captain Ross McCormack added his 25th of the season against Millwall and the pair have scored 35 goals between them this season. 

Bournemouth haven't won at home since March 1st when they thumped Doncaster 5-0 and that was the only home victory they have produced in their last four. The Cherries will be hoping to put an end to that run and pick up their first ever win against Leeds.
