Match Preview:

At Leicester there is a feel good factor right now with the arrival of Brendan Rodgers and the ex Celtic manager has overseen 2 wins from 3 games as The Foxes have climbed up to 10^th place. They are now just three points behind Wolves for 7th and a best of the rest finish.

Leicester have 3 wins from their last 4 games and at home they have won back to back matches coming into this game. Though they have won just 6 games at home this season, if we look just at recent form they will be the favourties to win this match.

Bournemouth could join Leicester on the same points but their woeful goal difference would mean that they cannot leapfrog them this weekend at least. The club have just one win in the last month and that was against Huddersfield and their last game ended in a draw against Newcastle finishing 2-2.

Eddie Howe’s team are safe this season, but they will want to improve their away record in the league which is poor. They have lost 11 of their 15 games although they did win their last game on the road which was the aforementioned Huddersfield match.
