Bournemouth have never lost to Leicester in the Premier League. The last time Leicester won at what was then called Dean Court was back in the 2013/14 Championship season.
Both clubs have managed just a solitary win this season and it has come against Brighton at home, with Bournemouth winning 2-1 a fortnight ago and Leicester beating the Seagulls 2-0 on the second weekend of the season.
Bournemouth have drawn a blank on three separate occasions this season, with that win over Brighton accounting for 50% of their Premier League goals.
Jamie Vardy is Leicester’s top league scorer with five goals to his name - he is responsible for 55.5% of all of their top flight goals (five from nine).
Vardy has taken three league penalties for Leicester this season but his 100% record came to an end last weekend when he saw his effort saved by Simon Mignolet.
The last five head-to-heads in this fixture have warranted just six goals – an average of 1.2 per game, with neither team scoring more than one goal a game during this time.
MEMORABLE MEETING
The last time these two clubs met at The Vitality Stadium was back in December 2016 when Marc Pugh scored the game’s only goal. This was Bournemouth's first win against Leicester since a 2-1 victory at Dean Court in March 1989.
