THE LOWDOWN
LEICESTER
- Leicester’s first fixture in the post-Brendan Rodgers era was a late defeat to Aston Villa and the Foxes are now in real danger of the drop following a run of just one point from their last seven Premier League games.
- One definite absentee is that of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall who will sit this one out through suspension, while it is unclear whether Jamie Vardy, Patson Daka or Kelechi Iheanacho will start up front.
BOURNEMOUTH
- Bournemouth are fighting hard to keep their heads above water but they find themselves in the relegation zone on goal difference ahead of this crucial fixture.
- Marcos Senesi is an injury doubt with a hamstring issue picked up against Brighton while Gary O’Neil has a largely healthy squad at his disposal should he wish to change things up here.
THE TEAM NEWS
LEICESTER
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Iversen; Castagne, Souttar, Faes, Kristiansen; Mendy, Ndidi; Tete, Maddison, Barnes; Iheanacho
UNAVAILABLE: Justin (Injured), Tielemans (Injured), Dewsbury-Hall (Suspended)
QUESTIONABLE: Evans (Fitness), Bertrand (Fitness)
BOURNEMOUTH
PREDICTED XI (4-4-1-1): Neto; Smith, Stephens, Zabarnyi, Kelly; Outtara, Rothwell, Lerma, Anthony; Billing; Solanke
UNAVAILABLE:
QUESTIONABLE: Senesi (Injured), Fredericks (Injured), Stanislas (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
This is a massive game in the context of the relegation fight with both teams occupying the bottom three positions in the Premier League. Leicester clearly possess a superior squad but a torrid run of form was enough to see Brendan Rodgers lose his job recently and deputy boss Adam Sadler was unable to get much of a tune out of his side in their midweek defeat to Aston Villa. The atmosphere at the King Power Stadium is rather negative right now with four straight Premier League home defeats for the East Midlands side, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see Bournemouth sneak away with a draw.
TIP: DRAW
