Leeds United ended a run of three straight defeats by drawing 1-1 against fellow relegation rivals Leicester City at Elland Road on Tuesday night.
Javi Gracia's men now head into the final five games just one-point clear of danger, and travel to a Bournemouth side, who have collected five wins from their last eight in the Premier League.
However, Leeds won the reverse fixture 4-3 at Elland Road having come from two goals behind to stage a stunning comeback.

Bournemouth look a different proposition to the side which sacrificed a two-goal lead back in November, but a victory for Leeds is a must as things continue to get tighter at the bottom end of the table.
LeedsLive has a taken a look at the best and worst-case scenarios this weekend.
Best case
Leeds may not be able to climb any places in the Premier League table this weekend, but they could extend the gap between themselves and the relegation zone.
Nottingham Forest face a difficult trip to Brentford on Saturday, and considering they have the worst away record in the division, Leeds can feel optimistic that they will still be ahead of Steve Cooper's side by the time they face Bournemouth on Sunday.
If Forest suffer a 13th away defeat of the season in the Premier League, then a victory over Bournemouth will send Leeds three points above them.
A draw between Leicester City and Everton will serve as the best possible result for Leeds, who could be three points clear of danger when the full-time whistle blows at the King Power Stadium on Monday night.
Elsewhere, Leeds will be hoping that West Ham slip up against Crystal Palace in the lunchtime kick-off in their quest to climb the table. However, safety remains the priority for Javi Gracia's side at this stage.
Worst case
Leeds could also find themselves in the relegation zone by the end of the weekend. Failure to beat Bournemouth will open up the opportunity for Nottingham Forest and either Everton or Leicester City to climb above them.
If Forest spring a surprise at Brentford by coming away with all three points, and Leicester or Everton emerge victorious from their crunch clash then Leeds will drop into the bottom three in the event of a defeat in Bournemouth.
